Have had some painful bursitis in my hip all week. Icing helps. Doc gave me some Meloxicam 15mg.

I know studies have shown dosages above 23mg can cause problems but I dunno if that is extended use .

Anybody ever doubled up for a single day on anti-inflammatory ? Any problem?

Call your pharmacy or the doctor office.

That and a legal board. Pretty sure I know what the docs would say… I’m just wondering if I can do it for a day to get through a golf tournament

I used Meloxicam for a bad back and got some relief but stopped taking it when I read that extended used could be harmful to liver, stomach, kidney or some vital organ prefer to keep. I think taking for a few days would be ok but it does take a day or too to start working.

15mg once daily for 14 days will do the trick.

If you’re having trochanteric bursitis then you should have gotten a steroid shot right in the bursa.

Apply Ice, take 15mg meloxicam per day, apply voltaren gel 2-3x per day, stay moving and it should improve within 2 weeks. If that fails then you can get a steroid injection into the bursa.

'Twas the stuff. Other than the heart attacks which were way less likely than the damn clot shot.

Took it temporarily. Good thing about Meloxicam is it works well on dogs.

Yes. But I’m not asking doctors or for professional advice. I wanting to know about experiences you have already had with this… if you have such experiences

Orthopedic doc gave me some a few yrs ago for rotator cuff pain. 15mg. I took it for 10 days and gained 10 lbs of water. Nope. never took another.
