Been taking this medication for almost a week now and still experiencing a lot of pain. Now my pain has branch out to my lower leg and foot with increasing pulsing pain. Wake up in pain.

Comment from: Diane M 55-64 Transgender 1 to 6 months Caregiver Published: October 17

While I found meloxicam helped with inflammation and pain, the side effect of loose stool to the point of not being able to control bowel movements was so embarrassing and uncontrollable that there is no way I would ever continue taking this.

It worked wonderful for about 3 weeks. Then after a couple of weeks I started getting really dizzy and off balance. Then this week my hair has started falling out, slowly but surely. Now today my chest hurts so bad, I really feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. It's going in the trash today. ??

Prescribed for chronic hip bursistis pain. I have taken it for 1 month off and on and it WORKS very well. I no longer use a cane. I also suffer from diverticulitis pain and it seems to help with that pain too.

I was on diflcan for about 6 months with not much relief. On my doctor prescribed Mobic I was so excited. Before I could barely walk (using crutches) and getting out of bed in the morning was quite the task. Now I can almost walk like a normal person, although my morning routines are about the same probably just due to stiffness throughout the night. Mobic has definitely changed my life! Don't know what I would do without it. Until I have knee replacement surgery Mobic will be my best friend!

Comment from: LonC 55-64 Male less than 1 month Patient Published: December 14

25 years ago, I took Mobic for back pain pursuant (I later found out) to a c-difficile infection that nearly killed me. Mobic, nor any of the other meds I was given-- helped the back pain at all at that time; and for many years I wrote this medication off as a placebo. However, recently I developed a spontaneous knee injury from long-distance walking. The knee capsule became so inflamed I could not walk or put any weight on my leg. My physician Rx'd Mobic. Lo and behold, it worked this time! It reduced the pain by about 95% and I could walk again. I've taken it for 2 wks and will stop in a few days; I received a cortisone injection in the knee. Because of some of the long-term side effects, Mobic is probably best used for shorter-term treatments. Clearly, based on my experience, Mobic is not a panacea for all types of pain and many patients will be disappointed that it is not a cure-all. But for joint capsule pain it worked wonders for me. Mobic is a potent medication and MUST be taken with food on a full stomach. I've come to the conclusion that Mobic, when used correctly for specific types of joint pain, can be very helpful. When used 'shotgun-style' for all types of pain, it is not effective. That is not the fault of the medication. Nor is the mis-use by the patient the fault of the medication, which seems to be part of the problem after reading some of the reviews on this site.

This is the second med I took for chronic arthritis in the knees. With this medicine I was told by the doctor that when the swelling goes down, the pain will go away. At times there would be less swelling, but the pain level never changed and I still had difficulty walking. I couldnâ??t take the pain anymore so ended up with getting a steroid shot in the knees, which after a few days took care of the swelling, and most of all, the constant pain. Able to walk faster now!

While this did help with my hand & foot pain it cause severe neck pain & stiffness. I basically had to decide if I wanted hand & feet pain or neck pain. I decided to stop taking it. Ibuprofen helped my pain as long as I remembered to take it regular. It wasn't worth the side effects for me.

I was on this drug for 2.5 years. My prescribed dosage was 7.5mg once daily. The drug worked really well, until the side effects became more relevant (Angina, internal bleeding, stomach ulcers, depression, dizziness, hair loss). It was prescribed for my degenerative disease; bulging disc; spinal stenosis; facet degen/hypertrophy C-3 thru C-7 and T-1; annular tear. I had surgery (last year), however not totally healed...still under Chiropractic care.

It worked at first to get some of the swelling down from the RA. My doctor said I would feel fabulous within a week of taking it seems to have only worked for a day or two and then petered out.

Been taking Mobic for at least 2yrs. was effective at first but no long helps. I'm still taking it but am going to speak with my doctor to change or raise the dosage level.

I was on this drug for 2.5 years. My prescribed dosage was 7.5mg once daily. The drug worked really well, until the side effects became more relevant (Angina, internal bleeding, stomach ulcers, depression, dizziness, hair loss). It was prescribed for my degenerative disease; bulging disc; spinal stenosis; facet degen/hypertrophy C-3 thru C-7 and T-1; annular tear. I had surgery (last year), however not totally healed...still under Chiropractic care.

Had diarrhea the entire month I took it. My tendonitis is gone, so it's effective. I won't ever take it again. Still trying to get my gut back to normal.
