What Are The Side Effects Of Meloxicam?
A little over a month ago I had gastric sleeve bypass done and they told me I would not be able to take meloxicam at all for life. I was taking it for bad knees, stopped three weeks prior to surgery but now they re hurting again like before. So today I started taking my 7.5mg pill and plan to from now on. Question is, what harm am I doing to my body, I don t need possible side effects are there any actual side effects.

Hello,
Meloxicam produces severe gastritis and it may harm your stomach (you have only a portion of stomach left!!)
You can consider opioid analgesics like tramadol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
