Meloxicam 15 Mg Did My Dr Make The Right Call (Top voted first)
Updated
Casey Says:
I've been taking Meloxicam for about three days now, for wrist pain. I had an MRI and it showed two small cysts in my wrist. The pain is still there, and it's nearly unbearable since I work in production. Should I ask my Dr. For something else, or continue to take it and hope for the best? I've read about melocxicam and it seems to work for people with arthritis, but I have cysts. Did my Dr. Make the right call?

Hello, Casey! How are you feeling? I'm very sorry that you're in pain.
Do you know what type of cysts they are?
Is this the only thing your doctor prescribe?
Usually, an antibiotic and/or a steroid are used for cysts, to try to reduce their size and get them to go away.
Meloxicam is listed by the FDA as an NSAID, it is used to treat pain, fever and swelling, but may not be enough to help with cysts. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

They are ganglion cysts, very small. My Dr wants to treat it symptomaticly before talking about surgery. So we are treating the pain and the meloxicam doesn't seem to be helping with the pain. And yes this is the only thing she prescribed.

Then I'd get back in touch with her and let her know that this medication isn't strong enough.
Are there any other questions or concerns?
