Does Meloxicam Help In Treating Osteoarthritis?
My father had CABG x5 emergently after stemi 3 months ago and still hasn t been able to get out of bed/bed ridden due to osteoarthritis of his back. His Rheumatoid Panel just came back negative. We re trying Ultram, however, I heard Meloxicam works wonders.

Hello,
Meloxicam will provide pain relief only. It will not stop the disease progression or cure the disease. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and consider drugs like dronates.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
