For me, so far so good. I worry about the longer term effects, specifically, strokes and heart attacks. These known side effects would not be a factor if I no longer took the drug and though nothing may ever happen, I still worry.

a reminder
Just reading this thread reminds me that perhaps I should be inquiring about something for my various aches/pains that are arthritic. I've not been able to take Nsaids for many years now and relief w/Vioxx was wonderful albeit shortlived (chest pain and pulled from market).
I notice my hands are more bothersome esp. at certain times. It's been a bit damp today and both hands/fingers hurt esp. with activity such as this (keystroke).

Though I've said it in the past, it bears repeating - aging sucks! Now that I think about it, maybe that's why my back has been tight all week.

I've always had a cast-iron stomache and meds never bothered me. A couple of years ago, it seemed like the long-term NSAID use was beginning to take it's toll. The doc started me on PROTONIX. I don't now if the GERD type of symptoms I was beginning to see was just a blip, or if the PROTONIX nipped in the bud, but I have not had a problem with those types of symptoms since I started on it.
I'm a couple of days into stopping the Mobic for the ESI... no horrible pain yet. (But, how would I know since I'm really having a lot of high pain levels ever day anyway???) I just thought I'd mention the PPI (proton pump inhibitor, protonix, pantoprozole) as part of the NSAID discussion because it is an integrale part of NSAID decisions for many people. Mark

thanks
Mark,
thanks for bringing that up. My PCP rarely hears me complain about my back or anything much for that matter as I have a tendancy to ride things out like the aching fingers or whatever unless it stops me cold in my tracks. Maybe I'll remember to ask her about it if I think I definately need an Nsaid or similar type of med to help w/arthritic symptoms. Usually being active helps the arthtitis like symptoms I have or so far fortunately. Sounds like you're hurting quite a bit. Sorry to hear that and hope that the ESI helps
