Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this sever pains that you have reported. Yes, Mobic is a good pain medication but the complication of stomach ulcers limits its use. Am therefore not surprised that you suffered from this. I will suggest that you get a more powerful pain drug without such a side effect such as tramadol or codeine in addition to tylenol. Flexeril is a muscle relaxant and am not sure this would be able to control your pains. However, you may try it out and see whether it makes a difference as persons may at times respond to an atypical drug. If you do give it a try, let me know how the response to this is.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
