Osteoarthritis
"I&#039;ve only been on this med for a few days. I had a scope of my rt knee 5 months ago and the arthritis is advancing quickly and severely. In the past month I started having pain in my shoulders, wrists, and left hip. I&#039;m a nurse and can not take opiods/narcotics for relief. I was taking more ibuprofen than I could count! I took my first mobic and not an ibuprofen since. I&#039;ve been able to sleep, not be tied down by a clock for pain, and have more mobility than I&#039;ve known in months! I&#039;m grateful. I&#039;m closely watching for side effects &amp; scheduled lab work to check blood levels &amp; liver function in 6 weeks. For the first time in a long time, I&#039;m hopeful."
