Mobic and a TPMT

Good evening everyone...

I saw my Rhuemy today and she ordered a TPMT? Has anyone else had this blood test done? And what is it for? Also she wants to try Mobic for my joint pain, as she had to stop me on Prednisone due to continued bleeding when I started my monthly. She said it may not be very nice on my stomach. Has anyone else had any experience with this rx? Any in put would be appreciated :) She also did a UA because it hurt whenever she pushed on my left kidney area, and the past 3 days it seems like i'm not discharging my usual amount of urine when I use the bathroom? Advice and experience?

Thank You so much everyone...

Very Much agree with Ann, was on Mobic (seriously allergic to it) and will cause stomach pain in some of us . Absolutely please take it in the middle of a meal or snack. Ann A beat me to posting the same links to you that I would.

Tenderness in your kidney area and lessened urine output could indicate a cyst or small stone (they call mine grit) but it sounds like your doctor is thorough and really looking out for you. That's a blessing, and don't hesitate to call the office if you have any other unusual symptoms like pain when urinating, visible blood in your urine, or dark (cola) colored urine. Doesn't matter what time - a great doc always has an answering service, and will call you back asap with directions on what to do.
