Although this drug has reduced and almost completely eliminated the excruciating pain I was experiencing, I am now experiencing very disturbing stomach and abdominal pain that makes me want to stop taking it.

I have always had a bad back had scoliosis when I was 10 i 1978, had the rods and screws and plates put in and trouble and pain ever since. It really is worse in the winter time. If you start taking this meloxicam in the winter it may need a little more time to really help you. I have arthritis in my knees and both ankles.I have spondinosis all in my back < bone overgrowth from surgery scaring > This helps with the swelling and tenderness of both. I have always had to take different medicine so it does not bother my stomach. I am very happy with it, I do have to watch what I take for a headache and sinus, cold medicine , to be sure not to overdose with the medicin. I have had several back surgeries, and 3 disk replaced in my lower neck. This helps that swelling as well. I have been taking meloxicam for about 4 years. It still works. I also have pain medicine for my back , neck I take when needed, And so far it helps. It will take at least 3-4 weeks to really feel the difference it makes. Give it at least that much time to see if it helps you. It helps me !! I hope it will help you to!I usually take mine as soon as I eat lunch, so it is taken on a full stomach, and have no bad effects. It is hard to remember not to lay down after you take it so lunch time works best for me, Because in the AM I have to take my synthroid for my thyroid problem and they can not be mixed at the same time...Thyroid medicine is a tricky thing to not mix with stuff or it will so called eat you thyroid meds! No medicine can be takes within 4 hours of my synthroid pills. Good luck everyone with this new medicine , Hope it helps everyone the way it helps me.Read More Read Less

This works very well but the stomach problems and dizziness make me want to discontinue it.
