Meloxicam 15 Mg For After Bunion Surgery

Updated

I had bunion surgery 7 wks ago. my foot is still swolen and in a lot of pain. I took my 1st 15 mg Meloxicam last evening and was wondering how long it takes to take effect. Also it seems that most people have been prescribed Meloxicam for muscle pain and arthritis do you think it's appropriate for me since mine is an acute injury? I'm a bit fearful of taking this med due to it's possible side effects.

Hello, Renee! How are you?

The FDA classifies Meloxicam as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever and swelling, so yes, it can also be used for problems such as yours.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

It should have some pain relief properties shortly after taking it, but it may take a few days to help with the swelling.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I was given meloxican years ago for lower back pain. It was amazing! took care of the pain. But, I was told to take it daily, because it worked better that way. It had to build up in your body? a friend of mine took it for RA, again, daily, and it worked great for her. but after a few years it stopped working (same as me). I guess after a while, your body responds differently.
