Mobic (meloxicam) for Osteoarthritis: I have had a knee problem for almost a year now - going through regular fluid build up. Went through drainage, cortisone shots, then synvisc - knee keeps swelling. Finally they did MRI and ordered orthoscopic surgery. The doctor who will be doing the surgery put me on Mobic to reduce swelling and the knee has felt the best it has felt in almost a year. Ironic - this is two weeks before surgery. I have been on other anti-inflammatories before and this one worked.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Tendonitis: I've been having some knee pain for the past 6 months. I stand all day at work, 9 hours a day, 6 days per week. PT helped some but the pain always comes back. My family DR. gave me Mobic and a steroid shot. I'm pain free for over a week now. I'm very happy so far. No side effects at all. I thought I was allergic to NSAID's but this is giving me no issues at all. Hopefully it will continue to work well for me.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Osteoarthritis: I have been using Mobic every other day for a week now, and my pain is almost diminished.
My fingers don't hurt as bad, and I can make a full fist without hurting. The pain in my upper legs is gone, and I can move once again like I am 30. I am 63! The side effects worry me some, so that is why I do not take it every day.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Fibromyalgia: This is amazing. I have suffered constant and varying levels of pain for over half my life (20 years). I have just started taking Mobic a week ago and am basically pain free. I can exercise for much longer periods with more intensity and do not suffer any pain.

Mobic (meloxicam) for : I have been having severe hip pain for over 9 months now. Did physical therapy, no change. Taken Motrin, naprosyn, ice - nothing relieved the pain. Couldn't even stand, sleep or get out of my car without pain and I'm only 32. I've been taking Mobic for 1 day and already feel 95 percent better.

Mobic (meloxicam) for : I have a severe case of tennis elbow, so I tried acetaminophen, naprosyn, ibuprofen and none of them provided any relief. Then my orthopedist prescribed Mobic....it's done wonders!! I'm 42 years old, 5'7", and 180 pounds, and he prescribed 7.5mg. The pain is almost entirely gone after only three days of taking the drug. Taking Mobic has allowed me to sleep at night!
