Mobic IS an NSAID. That being said, it's usage is a decision that can only be made between your physicians and yourself, using the "benefits vs risks" guidelines...
Would I take it myself? At 11 years post? Up until a couple of months ago, I would have said "yes"..I have taken various prescription and OTC NSAIDS, in moderation, over the years...but, in August, one of my besties, an 8 yr post RNYer, had her pouch revised due to a horrendous ulcer, that MAY or MAY NOT have been attributed to prescription NSAID usage (due to back injury/surgery a few yrs ago-she needed Celebrex, etc). She has been thru pure HELL. I haven't had an Ibuprofen since August 6th-her ordeal even scared a mean old nurse like me!!
Please consult your physician and ask for an ALTERNATE medication-or-at least-for the SHORTEST TIME the NSAID needs to be used..and always always always eat a solid food first!!!
Often times an external med (cream/ointement/ice/etc) may be very beneficial, along with Physical Therapy..
Please update us with what you wind up doing, so that we may learn, along side you!
