Question i have chronic knee pain. My MD precribed mobic 7.5 daily . I am taking ASA 81 mg as well and I have been having gerd . I dont take them at the same time. I take ASA with breakfast and Mobic on lunch both with food. How do you recommend to take them.
Is Synvisc injection recommendable?
Answer Hi Den,
No, I absolutely don't recommend ASA for anything and Mobic for knee pain.
I do recommend Synvisc if you aren't afraid of needles.
The short answer is ASA and Mobic actually accelerate arthritis by inhibiting chondrocytosis. This prevents the body from making new cartilage while masking the symptoms, great huh?
What you want to do is take 3000mg of glucosamine sulfate with MSM/day. It is OTC and has no side effects, unless you are diabetic, then only good glucose monitoring is needed.
This actually rebuilds the lost cartilage instead of it destroying it. You might ask, "what about the pain"?
Nothing normal asprin can't handle as good as the NSAID and Liver Killer ASA or Tylenol.
Stay healthy and flush that stuff.:)
