Is Meloxicam Advisable As An Anti-inflammatory?

I was prescribed meloxicam am 15 mg for should arm pain that may have been arthritis. The pain is gone so I stopped a few days ago. I sprained my ankle this afternoon sanding my driveway. I have been icing it for a few hours. Should I use the Meloxicam as an anti-inflammatory or am I better off with ibuprofen?

Hello. Meloxicam is better. The gastro intestional side effects are lesser. Once a day medication will be enough. Lesser interactions to food and other meds also. Regards
