Mobic 15mgs has worked very well for my severe ankle tibial tendonitis and moderate arthritis coupled with physical therapy which helped restore my range of motion which was 60% lost at the time of therapy.  

However, the tendonitis can not be helped any furthe (I wear orthotics _ high top sneakrs and a splint brace to sleep at night)  

The mobic helps the arthritis alot for me & I've been on it 1.5yrs with normal blood labs.  I have kidney stones so they want to be extra sure nothing does anything to the kidneys and so far normal labs.

I recently tried a new Voltaren pain patch and it was awful, zero, nothing .. didn't even touch the pain .. actually made it worse.

First of all, I can sympathize with your pains.  I am 22 years old, and have experienced arthritic pain since I was 15 or so.  I was diagnosed at age 16, and have been on several powerful medications.  Skelaxin and Relafin are two which have helped most, but go to a doctor and explain the pain you are experiencing to them!  If they are a good doctor at all, they will help you to alleviate the pain with a mix of medication and physical therapy as they did with me.  I wish you the best.
