Has anyone had good results for bursitis on Mobic? My doctor prescribed it for my hip pain. She gave me Ultram for pain, but it doesn't help and she won't put nor do I want to go on a narcotic pain reliever. Other than getting more cortizone shots, that I can't afford right now, this is the only other thing she can do.  Did it help you?

Mobic did nothing for me, I do hope your pain subsides.

Mobic didn't help my arthritis at all.  My sister takes it, though, and thinks it's great.  I also have a friend who says it helps her.

I took it for bursitis and, yes, it helped.  I have problems taking any Nsaids.

My doctor prescribes a cream that is  meloxicam (mobic) and lidocaine and it works as well.  You take less meds and it doesn't go through your digestive system

Hope you find relief.  Bursitis is brutally painful.

Thank you!  I have Lidocaine (spelling?) patches and Voltaren cream to rub on for the pain and they help for the first few hours after application but not through the night. I can put the cream on every four hours but that means getting up during the night to reapply.

i have ms and they gave me mobic didnt do much. altram is basiclly the same thing. i think one is generic.what i take now that really helps with pain is  tramadol. i take 3 a day. 50 millagram. i use to take like 12 advil a day now just that tramadol works good.  good luck.

Hip bursitis can be so bad, I tried Mobic and it didn't touch the pain. I went about four months ago and had both my hips shot up; relief!!

I had surgery on my wrist and was prescribed mobic for pain...... All it did was relax me, the pain remained.

Mobic was great for my knee injury, but did nothing for my bursitis, sciatica or muscle spasms in my neck.

The best thing for my bursitis is prescription Naproxin 500 mg.  Aleve does nothing for me and it's not technically the same as the sodium ratio is off.  I need the good stuff.

I've been put on Mobic before too once, did nothing for me at all. So I complained and then got on Percocet. That knocked me out then all I did was sleep. It was the best sleep ever.
