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.

You're welcome....it most definitely helps with my pain. My husband started on the 15 mg once daily about a year ago, and it works for him too. We took in the AM and found by the evening it was wearing off and we suffered from arthritic pain at night. We find much better relief by taking the 7.5 in AM and before bed. instead of the 15mg once daily. I couldn't exist without some type of NSAID daily for my arthritis pain. I'm also a 'Girdlestone" patient so I have no left hip joint at all. I lost that 2 years ago due to infection. Naturally, there are side effects to any medications, but at my age, I am looking for quality of life versus quantity!!! That's wonderful that you are able to golf again. Keeping your body in motion is the best thing you can do for arthritic joints!! Congratulations to you! I hope you get relief with the Meloxicam so you can keep moving! ........Cindy
