Comment:
I am struggling with a wrist injury and have changed from 600-800mg of Ibuprofen every four to six hours to Meloxicam. One pill makes the pain somewhat tollerable, two pills upset my stomach at first.

Comment:
I have been bothered by pain in knees and thumbs for a few yrs. As a 62 yr. old carpenter it made working pretty difficult at times.
After taking the first pill the pain decreased by at least 90%.
I was prescribed 1 15mg dose daily ,but found that if I only take one when needed, usually only every 2nd or 3rd day, I feel like a I did when I was 50. Back to my 40 hour week.
