Comment from: Sparky23456, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 2-5 years (Caregiver) I worked as a geriatric nursing asst., working many double shifts, doing a lot of heavy lifting, on my feet for 18-20 hrs. at a time. Suffered from knee and shoulder pain due to osteoarthritis; also, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, and bunions. LOTS of pain, daily. I was eating OTC ibuprofen like it was candy, with little to no relief. Mobic has been a Godsend! I now function with minimal discomfort. I do notice that I bruise easier, and I had an episode of rectal bleeding that lasted about 3 days (almost a year ago), but I will not give up the Mobic. I don't EVER want to hurt like that again. It has given me back a quality of life that I thought I'd never have again. I take care of my two grandchildren now, and I would not be able to do that if not for this medication. I am grateful.

Comment from: 65-74 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient) I use Mobic for osteoarthritis pain and stiffness. It has helped tremendously. Don't know what the future holds, but it sure does make my life a lot better. I couldn't function without it.

Comment from: sassa418, 65-74 Female on Treatment for 1-2 years (Patient) Although no other NSAIDS seem to help me at all, Mobic relieves my arthritis pain within minutes and the relief lasts all day. It even seems to delay my next attack and I, therefore, take it only when needed, not every day. Even this occasional use of the drug is most effective.
