Hello,

I'm sorry to hear you've been having some problems while on Meloxicam and Oxycodone. Your symptoms sound concerning to me, especially the weight gain. With sudden weight gain, I would be concerned with fluid retention.

Sometimes medications like Meloxicam can affect the kidneys, which can lead to fluid retention, so I would recommend you stop taking that medication and see your doctor to check your kidneys. Meloxicam can also affect your stomach which may be making you nauseous.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aaron Branch,
General & Family Physician
