Hello, Jessy! How are you?

Like any medication, it works well for some people, but not for others, since we are all different.

This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

Have you tried it, yet? If so, is it helping you?

I too am experiencing headache and diarrhea. It has helped with some joints but not my knees. I am thinking of stopping it and taking an herbal supplement such as Tumeric or arthro 7

I couldn’t stand the pain from the osteoarthritis in my hands, wrist and knees, so my dr prescribed Mobic. Now I’m experiencing diarrhea and constant headaches. I want to get off Mobic and maybe take an herbal supplement. Any suggestions?
