I have been taking 15 g of meloxicam for osteoarthritis. I have developed severe pain in my right shoulder and arm which includes swelling. I have ceased taking the drug and the condition improved. My question is what drug may I replace the meloxicam with?

Hi
Meloxicam is an NSAID group of drug. You can relpace it with any other NSAID with your doctor's guidance.
NSAID like ibuprofen, aceclofenac, diclofenac and others will help you.
