Hey, I don't do much posting but this is a good WLS question.  You should of course ask Dr. Freeman and ask his staff, Dr Dewitt let me take Ibuprofen liquid for a short period of time under special cir****tances.  I ended up on MOBIC for arthritis pain flared up by excercise.  I know there is a list, I don't have it but I would call the dr office and see what Dr Freeman says first.

I too, was allowed to take Mobic for a very short period of time.  I am suffering horribly with arthritis and really need to be taking something for it, but not sure what to take.  I really need to talk to dr. dewitt about it.  My shoulder and thumbs, and knees hurt so badly, especially in the COLD.

Elle, thank you very much! I was almost more miserable from the Ibuprofen last night than the reason I was taking them in the first place! lol
