Any Advise For Pain, Stiffness And Soreness In Lower Back That Didnot Reduce With Tylenol?
My doctor gave me Mobic to take only when I was going to be doing strenuous tasks to relieve stiffness and discomfort in my lower back. I felt so much better and could move easier that I started taking it daily. When I had my checkup last week, he insisted I discontinue because it could cause stomach ulcers and suggested I take Tylenol. After a week of trying his recommendation, my lower back is painful, stiff, and sore again. What would be your advice? I'm 68 and was in a severe auto accident 12 years ago breaking both ankles, wrists, and hip.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Mobic is a pain killer but it can cause side effect like gastric ulcer, it can also cause hypertension. So it is better to avoid it. Tylenol is a mild pain killer and does not have serious side effect. You can use local ointment for pain relief.
