I have a lot of joint pain in my shoulders and elbows. I also have a pinched nerve in my back that hurts like hell. I went to the Dr. and he gave me an anti-inflammatory called "mobic". I started taking it yesterday, he told me to take one a day. My question is how long does it take for the pill to start working. I haven't seen results yet.

Thankx,
Masiah

Im sure you know all this being an educated consumer.

I'd take fish oil and some bromelain.
Systemic enzymes also.
 
Hell, I'm always inflammed. What do you all recommend for OTC treatment?
 
Naproxen sodium (aleve) and advil are good for inflammation.

aleve lasts longer (12 hours), whereas advil lasts 6-8 hours
 
if you have a pinched nerve you should try at chiropracter too. It really helped my neck out.
