this is probably not the right place for this thread but to me it's "news"
last thursday i sustained a back injury while working, i went to see my family dr. (who is the greatest i might add) and he prescribed me tramadol for pain, robaxin for muscle relaxer, and Mobic which i believe is an anti-inflamatory drug, i weighed 205lbs same as the past 4 or 5 years, well, i started takin my medication and expected to be back up and moving in a couple days, i did nothing over the weekend other than attent church on Sunday morning, i was feelin horrible, my legs and arms felt like they weighed a ton, my skin looked like i had a severe sunburn and was itching like crazy, my feet, ankles, and hands were swelling, i went back to the doc's on Monday and weighed 217lbs, the mobic had caused an allergic reaction which had caused me to retain 12lbs of water weight plus the other symptoms, i was given a steroid shot and prescription plus a water pill and slowly i'm feeling better but i still don't think i'll work this week, (i'm self employed) i've heard several similiar stories from friends and family concerning Mobic so please use caution if you are prescribed this drug.
