Members shared mixed experiences with Mobic for inflammation, with some finding it noticeably helpful for arthritis and muscle spasms while others felt it worked no better than over-the-counter options or stopped working over time. Several members cautioned that as a strong NSAID, Mobic can be hard on the stomach and organs, and those with respiratory conditions like COPD, asthma, or Bronchiectasis were advised by their doctors to avoid anti-inflammatories altogether. A recurring theme was the frustration of finding safe and effective relief, with members emphasizing the importance of close monitoring, being aware of potential side effects, and understanding that what works for one person may not work for another.

Mobic helped me a lot. When I had muscle spasms in my back. It took a few months, but then much better. But that was before I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis. Just a warning Ann…since you have COPD, doctors may advise against it.(asthma too). My pulmonologist told me not to take any anti inflammatories, since diagnosed with my lung disease, not even over the counter ones❤️‍🩹

I had a friend who was on it and ended up with ruptured colon emergency surgery and sepsis. Never fully recovered as contracted a rare fungal lung infection as well. He passed away at only 32 years of age. I would advise caution and close monitoring if on this medication. Agree with Vic on respiratory diseases.

They tried to keep me away from NSAIDs due to my asthma. Now they also don't want me to take them because I am on Xeralto for DVTs they think may be related to the fibromyalgia.
