What Causes Swelling In The Knees While On Meloxicam?
I had partial knee replacement more than three weeks ago. After my PT exercises, my knee tends to swell making it harder to perform the next series of PT later in the day. I have some naprosyn and meloxicam. Is it OK to take one or the other to help reduce swelling? IF yes, whe is it advisable to take?

Hi,
Both are pain-relieving medications. If you had the problem of hyperacidity or gastric trouble with any pain medications in the past, meloxicam can be advisable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
