meloxicam for pain

It is now almost January (7 months ) later and we are still dealing with this with NO answers. She is on Meloxicam daily to manage the pain. She will have a good two or three weeks then a bad few days then the cycle repeats itself. She had strep throat Nov 16 which she took all the medicine and the symptoms went away. I had to rush her to the er Sunday night because all of a sudden her head felt like it was being squeezed and she was being stabbed in the ears.

ve been taking Meloxicam for my costochondritis for about a month and felt much better. I quit taking it and had a flare up and am now back on it. I hope it works. I just don't want to be on it too long term.

prescribed Meloxicam. No, it doesn`t get you high but it does relieve the pain. It`s nearly impossible nowadays for a doctor to prescribe opiates such as Vicodin, and if they do prescribe it, they only prescribe a few, like 10-20. The Pharmaceutical companies are gradually switching over to these non-addictive drugs. I bet in 10 years, there will be no Vicodin, but I could be wrong. They are coming out now with pain medication that is non-addictive, even for severe pain.

I have tried both - and sometimes I make the mistake of taking an ibuprofen after taking 1 meloxipam because I'm so desperate for the pain to go away and sometimes neither medication works as well as it should. The ibuprofen works just a little bit, but wears off after 4 hours or so. But if I were to compare both - it's about the same. I prever the ibuprofen only because you can take it whenever the pain seems bad enough. With Meloxipam, you only take 1/day.

Thanks for the suggestion, and we will certainly look into adding that.

I was just prescribed meloxicam 15mg for arthritis along with prilosec for acid reflux. I was wondering if you could tell me if meloxicam would be better for pain relief compared to 800mg ibuprofen. Also does it take time for meloxicam to build up in my body for maximum benefit? If so, how long does it take? Thanks very much!

I went to the doctor for some issues that I had been having and decided to reach out to my doctor for help getting off these bad boys. He perscribed Meloxicam to help with some the withdrawal symptons. I have to say this stuff, which is just an anit inflammatory will helps with the symptons. It eleminates the hot, flush feeling which is most annoying. It really does help. Just wondering if it's all in my head or has anyone actually heard of this? Thanks.

My life is literally being destroyed because I took One Pill a day for chest pain for a Week. Every Week it now gets worse symptoms. It's gotten so that I dread even imagining what next week will bring.

I am on 10mg vicodin twice a day for the pain in my foot. actually the pain is in my ankle probably from correcting my walk from the toe joint. Been on that for about 4 weeks. fevers/ sweating didn't seem to start til couple weeks after being on vicodin Klonopin was .5 mg twice a day. Dr recommended .5 mg once a day for 10 days ending 10-16-13, then .25 mg for 10 days then .25 mg every other day for 10 days, then he said I should be done. I will take your advise and schedule an appt.

Is it possible that Meloxicam could have eased my depression? I was on Meloxicam for a couple of weeks (for back pain) and noticed a huge improvement in my mood. Was this just a coincidence?

I decided to try eccentric strength trainiing as it worked for my hamstring tendon. and its known for achiles tendon. Its been about 3-4 days and i already feel much much better. anyone else had similar issues/advice on this topic?

I take 15 mg of the Meloxicam in the morning for pain but need additional pain relief later in the day and I know that both drugs are NSAID so I don't want to accidentally overdose.

Can you take meloxicam and later a couple of Advil? I was prescribed meloxicam for my arthritis and it does not always help me..

I have ulcerative colitis for a few years, I been in hospital a couple of times but the last time i was in it was due to the pain killing drug meloxicam for joint pain. I am almost sure celelbrex is in the same family, so to speak, as meloxicam.. I ended up losing the lining of my stomach. I had had a problem with anti flams for a while and i new i couldnt take celebrex as i had terrible cramps in my stomach.

To date I hvae been on three medications for my headaches (meloxicam, zomig and propranolol) but nothing seems to help. My headache has lasted for a month straight but it seems to be getting worse. My family doctor seems to think that I have sinus, tension and migraine headaches. The pain and sensitivity to light has become so bad that I have to sit in a dark and not move all night after a day at school. The pain is mainly behind my eye and on my nose bridge, then it spreeds to my forehead.

Welcome back dude. I have been on every NSAID imaginable...including Meloxicam for chronic pain. I have come full circle after a few years to Ibuprofen 800 mg 3x/dy but MUST take Prevacid daily to prevent ulcers. You have been thru the mill hon. Have you taken a Prevacid or any like med while on NSAID's? I hate to see you back on pain meds when you have fought so hard.

ve got me on Plavix, Aspirin, Iron, Tenormin, DocQlace, Hydroco/Apap for pain. Was prescribed Meloxicam, but not taking it because of what I read about it and bypass surgeries. Would love to get some sleep.

I have been to my Dr and was given a steroid and meloxicam. This seemed to help, but was easily aggravated back into pain. The pain will last a few hours after aggravation, but will completely subside. The pain is a sharp burning sensation. I have been resting my arm very well, but the injury is just so easily aggravated. If I press on on the part of the joint that hurts (superior) it almost feels like a lump moves. Any tips would be very appreciated!

I have been on Meloxicam for about 4 months and have gained 20 pounds and i feel swollen. I am also on highblood pressure meds. I just quit taking the Meloxicam. Does anyone know if the weight goes away? How long does it take for bloated feeling to go away?

I've been on that medication for many years and have had no side effects. It's been very helpful for my condition (severe tibial tendonitis).

I am a 29 yr old female. I started experiencing right side pain that goes from my lower rip down to right above my hip and stretches around my back right side 4 days ago. The pain was very severe... sharp and constant. I went to the ER twice where they performed a CT and ultrasound. They reported I have a kidney stone, but is not the cause of the problem. I had my gullbladder removed 5 months ago and they said the stone hasn't shifted since the CT then.

it has been ongoing for about 2 yrs and i finally got the MRI done and the diagnosis. the pain is on and off, and the severity of the pain also goes up and down. my orthopedist has rx'd me 2 different NSAID pain relievers thus far. I have had minimal pain relief from these meds. anyone else have experience with this? are the NSAIDS working for you? when i was originally injured i was taking 800 mg IB's and 5mg vicoding (when necessary).

Periodontist said they cannot prescribe any painkillers No opioids what if my pain is unbearable for days after the numbness weavers off Asked to be put on an antibiotic by the periodontist because I’m immunocompromised diabetic arthritis hoping my 15 Morning meloxicam will help with this surgery pain will it?

I have gained a considerable amount of weight will taking Meloxicam. Once I stop taking will the weight come off??

I was told today by my awesome insurance company that they will not cover Celebrex. I have been on meloxicam for many years. I'm on day 25 norco free and working with my pain management doctor on non narcotic relief. I thought this maybe a good choice but the insurance company disagreed. Any opinions on arthritis relief options. I have liver issues and I'm tested every 6 months. I also have stenosis, 2 bulging discs and one that has been detached.
