@lioness Because I had peptic ulcers ten years ago, my doctors don't want me to take nsaids. The pain specialist suggested Meloxicam rather than Ibuprofen because it's easier on the stomach. Tylenol (acetaminophen) isn't an nsaid, so I take it at bedtime, and Meloxicam in the morning. Every doctor I see has a list of the medications I take, and none of them have expressed any concern. I take 15mg in the morning.

I took 800mg of Ibuprofen 4x a day for 20+ years, so no surprise that I had a stomach bleed. After two surgeries on my shoulder I no longer needed the Ibuprofen, so I had backed off to taking it only as needed.
