    I was taking it for awhile as well but then my doctor thought I had an ulcer so I stopped taking it.

    I was initially was prescribed Naproxen and reacted with bad symptoms unfortunately. I think pain relief is trial and error and so individual as one doesnt fit all

    Glad this worked for you and healing is progressing.

    Best

      I had bad reactions to naproxen and was told that meloxicam was similar in terms of profile but better tolerated in general, also only 1 pill a day instead of several. I was on meloxicam for months and improved a little. I'm not sure the improvement was due to meloxicam or just natural healing, but I don't ask questions as long as there is any improvement on the long run.
