Maybe, read as much as you can about options, as you have been doing. As a result, and also speaking with your rheumy., it could help you decide.

I had an appointment with my rheumy. this afternoon. He was pleased to learn that the Mobic has been helping (my knees and ankles) since it did nothing in the past with other pain. He said that it's good to know the Mobic has been working for "extremity pain."

Because the pain has subsided, the Mobic is now to be taken on "as needed" basis.
