Hi Bobbi,
yup i've got OA. I've been taking mobic now for about 3 months. I just recently had my gall bladder out and had to stop taking it for a little bit, and i could sure tell a difference in my hands... They hurt so bad while i was off of it.. I cant tell that its doing anything for my knees though...
I just had a cortisone shot in my knee on thursday and already its starting to wear off

.....
I've been researching the use of "hyaluronates". There are others besides supartz. Synvisc seems to be a popular one... I'm undecided about what to do. All i know is i cant do a knee replacement right now. I guess i'll talk to my dr more about this when i go back on the 18 for my next cortisone shot.
hopefully the next one will last a little longer...
