Brief Answer:
Drink much water and a urine test! Pain is never normal until cause known.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this change in the color of your urine. The change at times may signify an issue and in most cases, nothing much. The best way to make the difference is by doing a rapid urine test which will tell whether there are any abnormal findings which warrant further investigations or managements. For the time being, drink much water. I will not strongly recommend meloxicam as this can cause stomach bleeding and pain unless recommended and prescribed by a physician.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I drink 3-5 bottles of water 16.9 ounces daily. I' ve also have had bilateral ankle and feet swelling with pain and soreness. I also have a history of DVT 2012 of which I was on Warfarin for 6 months. I do see a Pulmonologist for the Valley Fever I am scheduled to see him next month for f/u, as I have been on the fluconozole for 2 1/2 years. I am told that it is a possibility that I will be on it for the rest of my life. I am a XXXXXXX XXXXXXX and was told that Valley fever tends to Deciminate in XXXXXXX Americans . I still have a Nodule on my left lower lung I was diagnosed in 1/2014. My concern is I am wondering if in fact I been taken the fluconozole too long?

Brief Answer:
It is not too long!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.

Several persons take this drug even for longer periods. While taking drugs for long periods is not ideal, it is better seen the advantages over the risk. I will suggest that you continue.

The amount of fluids you drink suggest that the urine can be very clear. This doesn’t suggest an infection and you shouldn’t be worried.

Keep me posted. I wish you well.
