Anyone had success with Meloxicam for fat pad atrophy?

Posted by esperanza22 @esperanza22, Sep 24, 2020

Has anyone had luck with the above with pain.? I have fat pad atrophy and it is getting hard to walk and also just went to a neurologist for numbness in my foot. I am getting new orthotics. He prescribed Meloxicam.Thanks for any help regarding the above.

@esperanza22 you will notice that I have moved your post back into a previous discussion you started on this topic in order to get an update from you on what you have experienced these past 6 months since your original post.

Here is some additional information in case it is helpful.

-Filler in the foot: treatment of plantar fat pad atrophy with dermal fillers: https://www.magonlinelibrary.com/doi/abs/10.12968/joan.2021.10.Sup1.6

Can you share what you have since tried in terms of the orthotics and meloxicam and what procedures you may have looked into?

I have the same problem. Very painful to walk due to Doctors shooting me with cortizone shots for over 10 years. also 3 botched up surgeries. Getting custom orthodics but have my doubts. What is Meloxicam? I have ulcerative colitis and not sure I can take it but willing to try anything. Tylenol doesn't touch it. I'll ask my Doctor. Thanks for the info. Maria.

Thank you Colleen for writing to me. The problem with fat pad atrophy is if I could afford it, there is a doctor in Pennsylvania that does the operation.
They take fat from your body and put it in your foot. It is a dream of mine which right now I cannot afford. I am hoping the neurologist can help with the numbness in my one foot. Going next week for a nerve test and they mentioned some kind of shots after that. I have already started Meloxicam two days ago.
Thank you again.

I can't afford the treatment either. I think it's called dermal fillers. I will spend the rest of my life in foot pain. Can't take drugs due to ulcerative colitis. The right care is rarely available with MediCare. Any suggestions besides expensive orthodics? Any luck with those? Thanks. Maria.
