| Meloxicam -Has anyone taken this? My doctor just prescribed this medicine because I needed something stronger than Ibuprofen 800 mg for arm and shoulder pain. Know of any side effects that I should watch out for?

| I haven't heard of that before. Could it possibly be Meloxicam?

| OH I Googled "melodically" and got all kinds of music stuff I hope the meloxicam works for you. Chronic pain is horrible. I take Tramadol for my lower back and it works great without the narcotic side effects.

| I started another thread with the correct name of the medicine and asked that this one be deleted.

| I'm starting Nexium tonight and taking Pepcid Complete. I know what you mean about stomach issues and NSAIDS. The doctor told me to eat "alot" at my meal when taking it.

| I take it every day for arthritis. Took me off Celebrex and put me on it. I can really tell if I don`t have it. Helps me a lot. Just makes me drowsy tho. After mid morning nap, I am ready to go. I have no other side effects. |

| Do you take it after a meal? The doctor told me to take it with a lot of food and the pharmacist told me it didn't matter. I'll be taking it with a lot of food.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Lila - I've taken Meloxicam for my neck pain - which is at C5/C6 - I have a bone spur and arthritis in that joint, likely from a car accident from 20 yrs ago. It worked great for me! Meloxicam is known to be tougher on the liver than other similar meds, but as long as you don't have liver problems, I can't imagine it going wrong for you. Meloxicam is also known for causing way less tummy probs (for those sensitive to NSAIDS), so that's a benefit too. Seriously though, I want some of this Melodically stuff...bc that just sounds lovely .
