Hello....I have been taking Meloxicam 7.5mg twice daily for past 10 years or so for arthritis pain and it works well for me. I have Osteoarthritis in my knees, hip, hands and cervical spine. I used to take it just once daily, but bumped to twice daily about 5 years ago. I'm 72 years old. Meloxicam is an NSAID like Ibuprofen, etc, although it's a prescription only.

Thank you, Cindy! I am glad to hear you have used for 10 years and have some relief. So does it relieve some of your arthritic pain. My doctor prescribed 15 mg once a day. I am 76 and am hoping I can make it the rest of my life without another hip surgery. I have returned to golf after 2 years not playing and really want to continue playing if I can.
