I too took Mobic. Kidney problems now are bad....I have a disease called Minimal Change Disease. Something usually small childred get....They don't know how to treat me. It is an autoimmune disease. Basically my immune system thinks my kidneys are foreign objects and is destroying them. I am and have been on chemo to limit my immune systems ability to work. I tried heavy doses of steriods and they did not work. But you name it for side effects and I had them and then some. Basically could not keep my blood pressure high enough to move around and lost most of my balance and muscle tone. It took a good strong year to come out of the mess the steriods caused. I now have been on chemo for 10 years and am doing good...GFR ranges in mid thirties. I wish you the best of luck. Hope you have a specialist for kidneys helping you. Carol
Forgot to say....Yes I too have terrible pain and am not allowed ANY Nasids. I have learned to live with it. I do use heat or cold what ever feels best. Some days a long soak in the tub helps....I find water therapy helps also. On the bad days I spend alot of time in my chair! If you can get out to be with others that helps also....takes your mind off of yourself and pain.
