I have been given Mobic by almost every doctor I've seen for RSD...or the generic for it anyway. I have never noticed it making much, if any, difference. I do not seem to get much relief from meds though so I can't say if it's just me or not. I've had some bad side effects from meds...but honestly this has never been one that I had an issue with. I am not currently taking it because I wasn't getting much relief from the meds and I cannot afford them right now...so instead I just use the Lidoderm patches because of all the prescriptions that is the most useful to me (especially with flare ups).
