| 3 | Sciatica | It made my restless legs much worse. I had to stop taking it | F | 58 | 5 days 7 1X day | 9/24/2023 | 4 | Arthritis in spine | It helps the pain but is giving me restless legs keeping me up until early morning. I can't afford to sleep all.day when it finally quits. Restless legs and arms is miserable to.have. | M | 67 | 2 days 15 1X day | 7/8/2023 | 4 | Severe pain from arthritis | Suspect the 15 mg dose caused light-headedness and severe fatigue. | I've taken this on and off over the past ten years for arthritic pain in spine. Usually took only 7 mg/day. At that dose I noticed reduced pain after a few days. Then I'd stop taking. This isn't a maintenance drug: like all nsaids it can have fangs. I just took 15 mg/day two days this week and noticed severe fatigue after. Can't say for certain that it's the drug. Did help relieve pain quickly. | F | 67 | 2 days 15mg/day 1X day | 4/20/2022 | 4 | Total knee replacement | F | 66 | 30 days 50 mg 1X day | 12/21/2021 | 4 | foot pain | I have been taking MELOXICAM 15 mg. for over a year. Last month I was working outdoors and could not raise up from my sitting position working on hvac. I was very dizzy and weak also. I could only take a few steps and needed help. I had a severe bleeding ulcer from taking MELOXICAM on an empty stomach. I needed a blood-transfusion and spent a week in the hospital.I had3 procedures upper 2 upper GI and colonoscopy.Blood plasma was 7.1 before they administered a unit of blood.After 4 weeks blood count is only11.2.I found that MELOXICAM works well with food. | Please take as directed with food or you can have serious gastric ulcer. | M | 69 | 1 years 15mg 1X day | 3/31/2021 | 5 | Back and neck and shoulder pain | Will not take narcotics for pain so tried this I sleep better and feel less pain next day at work .I have restless leg to don't feel much difference I still get restless leg either way. i have faced joint disease so this helps the pain alot. | F | 74 | 0 weeks 15.4mg 1X AN | 9/28/2020 | 5 | Tennis elbow, osteoarthritis | Some appetite loss and difficulty sleeping, but not too bad. | Have been. Taking it for a while and it's the only thing that touches the pain without a addictive or sedative effect. Would recommend. | F | 51 | 3 months 15 mg 1X day | 9/15/2020 | 4 | Sciatica and arthritis | It works great for my pain but it’s hard for me to get a full night’s sleep. | F | 44 | 5 days 30mg | 12/23/2019 | 5 | Back and Hip Pain | No Side Effect | I take 2 turmeric pills every morning which very good for every day aches and pains. I only take Meloxicam usually before tennis or hiking. Works great! | M | 71 | 5 months 7.5 4X W | 6/10/2019 | 4 | Pain in hips, pelvic area, and back | Initially severe stomach cramps with diarrhea. Now taking the medicine at dinner before bed. Cramping has subsided. Strange tingling sensation and pelvic region. Pain is 90% gone! I am now sleeping through the night for the first time in eight years. | M | 57 | 14 days 15mg | 6/7/2019 | 3 | Arthritis and other chronic pain | Mild nausea. Restless legs. | This is the first prescription I've ever had that actually helped. | F | 62 | 3 weeks 7.5 | 4/13/2019 | 1 | Hip pain | Spike in BP, bloating, nausea, constipation, stomach distress. All symptoms were extreme. | Told by my doctor to take this Meloxicam instead of Ibuprofen. What a mistake as it did absolutely nothing for my pain and I became extremely ill.I took it for 1 week & it's 2 weeks since I stopped taking it and I'm still suffering nasty side effects. I got more relief from Ibuprofen which I only took every other day or so. Now my stomach still hurts so bad & the nausea & constipation is the worse I've ever had. I think I've developed an ulcer. This medicine is poison. | F | 66 | 1 weeks 15MG 1X day | 2/22/2018 | 4 | Severe back pain and arthritis | So far, so good. Unbelievable that it works so quickly in getting rid of the pain that had plagued me for years. I usually have negative reactions to this kind of med, but my dosage is 1/2 of what was prescribed and I take it in the am with a full 12 oz glass of water and my breakfast. | F | 70 | 7 days 7.5 1X day | 12/6/2017 | 5 | arthritis pain and foot pain | None | Works well; I have a lot of foot pain due to arthritis and an osteoporotic foot fracture. Have trouble bearing weight and walking but do much better once I take my daily meloxicam. I do worry about it being hard on the kidneys tho but............... I really can't function well without it. | F | 64 | 1 years 15 mg 1X day | 6/4/2017 | 4 | Neck pain and stiffness | hot flushes, weakness, shaky feeling, minor anxiety, heart palpitations and stomach cramps. Although, I must add a note here though that all this could be more down to myself than the medicine: I was floxed by Ciprofloxacin 14 months ago, leading me to develop food and medicines intolerances. So it might work better for you! | I´ve done two seven day courses of this medicine in 2016 for neck pain and stiffness, once in winter and once in autumn. Works great for the pain, although the complete symptoms would diminish only after I was into its third or fourth day. Regards, | M | 26 | 7 days 15 2X day | 3/26/2017 | 1 | Degenerative disc disease and polym | Nausea, vomiting, itching, hair loss, restlessness, irritability, bloody stool! | I will never take this again, in fact I'll deal with the pain! Its much preferred to the side effects! I'm done trying to find relief through doctors I'm supposed to be able to trust who are in reality just pimping these drugs for the pharmaceutical industry | F | 50 | 5 months 7.5 2X day | 12/10/2016 | 1 | Ankylosing Spondilytis (Arthritis) | Hard on stomach | First dose gave me stomach pain and totally swelled and distended it. No Thank you. Such a shame that Naprelan was discontinued- it was an excellent drug. | F | 70 | 1 days 75 MG 1X day | 11/30/2016 | 1 | Shoulder pain | Swelling in hands, arms. Unable to urinate normally and Blood Pressure very high. | Throw this stuff in the trash.

At week 7 of treatment I have decided to stop my use of Meloxicam. I hope the RLS goes away now! | F | 53 | 7 weeks 15mg 1X day | 4/23/2014 | 5 | inflamation | none | I swim 3X per wk; do some strenous hikes; etc. i have bone spurs in neck and r.shoulder and tend have lots of genl inflammation. Meloxicam helps greatly. | M | 64 | 3 years 15 mg 1X day | 6/3/2013 |

If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section.
