"I was recently diagnosed with tennis elbow. My MD prescribed meloxicam. Two hours after taking it, I started experiencing intolerable leg pain (pain like I have never experienced), flu-like symptoms (chills, mild fever), fatigue, loss of appetite, loss of interest in work/hobbies, mild nausea. I discontinued the medicine twelve days ago. While side effects have improved, I'm still experiencing some. I can honestly say that I have never felt this bad in my life."

"I suffered from sudden foot pain (probably a stress fracture). Aleve was working for me, but my podiatrist put me on meloxicam since my stomach was not bothered by the Aleve. After the first day, I had a very upset stomach. I did take the meloxicam for a second day, but was chewing Tums constantly so my stomach wasn't so upset. I stopped taking it after day 2. On the bright side, I had no pain in my foot for a few days. Now, I have some slight foot pain, but I'll live with that until the foot is healed."

"I had surgery on my ankle about 7 years ago for ligament repair. 4 years ago, I also had suture removal and granuloma. A couple of weeks ago, I went back to the surgeon, and he prescribed me meloxicam, and it hasn't helped at all. It has been past the 2 weeks, and that is when the pills are supposed to kick in."

"I have pain in my right leg. This drug, meloxicam, was prescribed to me at 10 mg, it did nothing. The over-the-counter pain relievers were better."

"I was prescribed meloxicam by an ER when my hip went out. I take tramadol for everyday use. It doesn't help when this happens. Meloxicam, even combined with my tramadol, was useless."

"Prescribed 7.5 mg tablets, take 1-2 a day. I usually take 2. This medication is not at all effective for pain (in comparison to, say, oxycodone 5 mg), and I plan on discontinuing it soon."
