It has helped some. I was on mobic back in 2004 to 2006 or so. But it quit working. Took diclenfenac.sp? For a while after that, buy dr felt I'd been on those meds long enough to start having problems, so she recommended I take tramadol as prescribed, 3 a day. But I took 2 a day and did fine. Can tell a difference when I run out.
But my current rheumatologist took me off biologics and cut my script to tramadol to 2 a day, whe pain was bad I would take 2, as previous rhemy advised. That's why I now take mobic.
Because I'm sero negative, I shouldn't have those other meds.
Trying to get into another dr. Just waiting for one to accept me.

How long you been on Mobic and has it helped?

I took celebrex for a month. Did not help at all.
I'm taking mobic now.
