Has anyone taken Meloxicam 5mg capsules for arthritis pain and experienced severe side effects? I've been on it for a week and while my pain has improved, I've felt extremely weak and have some stomach issues. I'm not sure if this is normal. Has anyone else had similar symptoms or concerning experiences? I want to continue taking it because it helps with the pain, but I’m worried about these side effects.

Don't forget NSAIDs can affect your kidneys and liver. If you have any signs of trouble, go to the doctor right away.

I take Meloxicam 5mg for my knee pain and it’s been great! No side effects for me so far. But if it's bothering you that much, maybe talk to your doctor about switching to a different NSAID or a lower dose?

You should definitely discuss this with your doctor if it’s affecting your quality of life. There are other pain management options available.

I had a bad reaction to Meloxicam. I got rashes and itchy skin everywhere. I had to stop immediately. Be careful and listen to your body.
