mobic/meloxicam?

Doc just put me on 7.5? Daily. He said it was a safer nsaid as far as tummy side effects. However, I started taking it yesterday, and I'm crampy and gas-y.

The condition of my gi tract really concerns me, since I already have so much damage from celiac (doc said six years to normal if I don't re-glutenize myself).

Should I continue taking it to see if this side effect goes away? Or should I try something else? What are your experiences?

I do not wanna get into narcotics if I can avoid it.

When I took Mobic, I was on 15 mg and it helped SO much. If the cramps are unbearable then of course do not take it anymore but if it is light cramping pain I would deffinatly give it a few more days and see if your body becomes used to it.

I was on 3 others before this and has no response to them and this took about 80% of my pain away when I took it every day like I was supposed to,.

I think it worked pretty quickly for me personally. I know some people can take a few weeks to work but for me it was fast :D!

what did you guys take the mobic for? I have horrible horrible deep muscle pain all over and need to talk to my dr to get the right med.

Mine didnt help the muscles or headache, but helped so much with joints!
