I am 74 and up until today, I have not taken any RX....went to my doc last week and told about some pain in the left glute area - plus some groin pain - it does not hurt all the time. They sent me for x-rays and it shows I have osteoarthritis on the left side and the hip is bone on bone on the left. The right still has cartilage and I have no pain on the right. He prescribed MELOXICAM 15 Mg tab
I have not yet taken one, and am debating IF I will - the side effects sound awful. What do you recommend?
