Painful osteoarthritis - This is the only thing that has helped with the severe bone and joint pain. I no longer feel like I am twenty years older than I am, and can keep up with the kids again! This might upset a sensitive stomach but since I have to use a proton pump inhibitor anyway (because of IBS) I can't comment on that... I have been on it (15mg daily) for one month. I did learn right away ...

Burps that smells like farts(the burps happen frequently because of the severe gas), severe gas and diarrhea, major discomfort. The benefits do not outweigh the negatives. And as far as I can find, this stuff is actually only approved for dogs and for a one time use in cats. Stay away.

This has been wonderful. The first day I took it I noticed a difference. I have arthritis in my elbow and after I started using this the pain was almost nonexistent.

Old broken ankle -now full of arthritis.I had very little movement and a lot of pain. Took two pills and felt like going to the gym the second day. Has caused my back pain from old spinal fusion to get completely better and my hip relplacement to be functional again. Two days ago I was in a wheel chair. This is a miracle

I had a back problem and couldn't even stand up straight. Took one of these my wife had left over from a doctor visit and within an hour I could do a summersault on the floor. Got my own prescription and now take a 15mg daily. Have noticed much less pain in joints and some improved flexibility. Every step I take is no longer painfull. I still do stretching exercises daily for my back.

Used for the treatment of arthritis and Baker's Cyst. Some decrease in the swelling but no improvement in flexion. Increased pain and discomfort over the previously prescribe Arthrotec.

Pain is eased. Stomach worry due to severe breaks in skin on hands that results after just a few days of taking this drug. If it can do this to my hands what is it doing internally.

I have tendonitis in left arm for about two months and this medication has not worked. I found Aleve works better at realiving the pain. Problem still has not gone away or improved.

I "strained" as the Doctor called it, my ankle and hobbled around for 3 days until taking Meloxicam which within hours relieved the swelling and inflammation. I am very satisfied with my experience using Meloxicam.

I have scoliosis and arthritis, as well as occasional sciatica. I've taken Meloxicam for a little over a month. It took about a week for me to get any relief, but the doctor and the pharmacist had told me this would be the case. I take it in the morning with food. The relief was fairly good at first, then improved, then fell off to about 50%. In the past couple of weeks I have had a slight headache, very sporadic, and not severe. At first I thought it was a slight migraine, but my migraine attacks have never involved pain and were self-limiting. I intend to contact my doctor for advice, and have skipped my dose today. Slight as it is, the headache bothers me more than the physical pain that led to my taking Meloxicam. Read More Read Less
