Suggest Treatment For Arthritis Without Side Effects
What can I take for arthritis that does not have potentially bad side effects? I can barely walk because of pain in my hip. My doctor prescribed mylan-meloxicam which helped tremendously until I got high blood pressure and gastro-intestinasl issues. I also have apacemaker. Anything you can help with would be GREATLY appreciated.
