Ran Out Of Meloxicam

Updated

I ran out of my meloxicam that I take for severe arthritis and degenerative disc disease. Due to being in the process of changing PCPs I am looking for an ITC comparable to the meloxicam or something that might even work better. I am a lot of pain and am having a hard time moving. To further complicate issues I had gastric bypass surgery 9 years ago and am supposed to be limited in taking NSAIDs. I am currently taking 2600mg of Tylenol two to three times a day and roughly 1600mg of Advil with minimal relief. Please advise.

Unfortunately, there really isn't anything available over the counter that is a strong, which is why Meloxicam is available by prescription only.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this class of medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation.

When will you be seeing your new PCP?

I don't get to see my new PCP until April or May. Won't even make an appointment with me yet.
