I am on Meloxicam but for arthritis. It, in combination with other meds, does seem to help. The pain and stiffness never completely goes away but it is at a level that I can deal with.

Yes, I'm still on omeprazole. 40 mgs twice a day. I tried melixocam but it didn't work. I didn't have many side effects from it. It just wasn't strong enough.

Not on Prescription meds use Magnesium , now have high pain threshold xx

I only use Omeprazole. Not had experience with meloxicam sorry. Hopefully someone will come along that has xx
