@Luvsmyfam

I've taken this for quite sometime for pain due to arthritis and fibromialgia. I have had no side affects from it. Although we are all different. I take one tab a day in the am. I hope this helps you as it has me.

Taking with food is very important. Arthritis drugs can be tough on your stomach.

Both my husband and I took it for awhile after our knee replacement. I don't take it anymore but he still takes it maybe once or twice a week when he goes hiking or does a lot of work that puts strain on his knee.

I was on Meloxicam last year and got relief from in. However, the doctor told me I could not be on it long term. ( She never explained why.)

I was prescribed it prior to joint replacement with no issues. I was advised it is not wise to remain on it for an extended period as it can impact kidney function. It is an anti inflammatory and they can do a number on you. Still, if it reduces inflammation and pain it is well worth trying imo. Good luck!

My primary physician prescribed it about 2 years ago for arthritis pain. Take 1 tablet each morning and it does help. He does blood work ups routinely and all has been OK.

Hope it helps you. Good luck.

@Luvsmyfam 2 things: Glad you are using Good RX. I've used them for over 2 years and have saved literally 100's of dollars on the meds I need to take.

I also take meloxicam as needed and it does help my arthritic knees.

I take it a few times a week or as needed for athritis in my right knee. It really does help but one thing that I noticed is it doesn't work right away like aspirin. It usually begins to work after a day or so.

@haddon9 @Luvsmyfam Yes meloxicam takes about a day to kick in.

@Love my grandkids Thanks! At first I thought that it was my imagination.

@Luvsmyfam

After I retired from teaching and went to Dillards as a stylist, I didn't know the way to carry back the mountains of clothing left as I styled.

I developed a sciatica nerve issue in my left hip.

After a chiropractor locked me down to where I could hardly walk, my dr. put me on a daily meloxicam and 1/2 pepsid. He is very tall and took them too when I asked if they were "safe".

That was 9 years ago and I still am doing well.

@Luvsmyfam

I too should have mentioned to take this with food. It can be hard on your stomach, I've never had any issues as I take it with my breakffast. Maximum dosage for anyone is 15mg's. I started out on 7.5mg. I just thought I'd let you know that before hand.

Luvsmyfam — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 00:57:32 GMT

well I certainly appreciate all your replys.i hope this gives me some relief.my dr did say,use tynaol with this instead of ibphropine. You know,when a person just doesn't feel good,you look at the world in a different way.when you are feeling good,you embrace the beauty of this big old world

Re: Meloxicam

Love my grandkids — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 01:16:12 GMT

@Luvsmyfam True. And I am only allowed to use tylenol NO ibuprophin due to my medical history.

I was prescribed Meloxicam for my bone on bone knees. It did help really well with the pain, but caused me problems on the way out. My poor bottom was blistered and bleeding. It took me a while to figure out the problem. I thought I had hemorrhoids.

So now I take good old Advil...no problems with that drug.

I have had problems with a lot of drugs. The cure is often worse than the illness.

Everyone is different. I hope it works for you.

My Dr prescribed it two months ago for pain and inflamation in my neck. I´ve only taken two since that time and I must say it worked. If I need it, I will take it.

I was prescribed a low dose of this for arthritic pain. I take if very sparingly as I am concerned about side affects. It does seems to help but I wouldn't take it regularly.
