JeniPenni ....
I have switched to Mobic (brand name for Meloxicam) NSAID. 15mg pill. Took first one last night. So far ok with Synthroid that I took an hour ago. Only thing is that not much pain relief ??? but I wonder if it "builds up" in my system .... I am hoping that it is going to work as taking it once a day is nice vs. 3X for the other one with side effects of dizziness/tired with the Synthroid. Being time-released is nice even dosing 24hrs long.
The one thing I did though, is I broke the pill in half to be certain no allergies, etc. Figuring 1/2 pill better than whole for first time .. then I took the 2nd half 2 hrs later ... wonder if I disrupted its long-acting properties doing so ???
Do NSAID's build up in the system or is it you get what you get on the first dosing for results.
My Ankle therapy shows 50% loss of range of motion .. how does a tinfoil head clucking chicken get around on one foot I ask ? I am managing ok taking breaks during the day and icing things down, etc., etc.

The pharmacist said not to break the pill on a regular basis .. it is not time released but does have an eneteric coating so I would be doing myself an injustice if the 15mg's is too much .. she said get a script for 7.5mg's if I need to go down rather than breaking it in two.
Now that I'm up it feels pretty good so I am encouraged greatly after the morning stiffness has gone away!!!

NSAID's need to build up in the system... I found this:
"Effective use of NSAIDs
It is better to use NSAIDs continuously to build up an anti-inflammatory blood level, and the efficacy is markedly lower if taken only when experiencing pain. Taking the drug regularly in the prescribed/recommended dose lets the drug build up over time in order to have an anti-inflammatory effect and allowing the area a better healing environment.
NSAIDs and the pain relief medication acetaminophen (e.g. brand name Tylenol) work differently, so sometimes doctors recommend taking the two medications at the same time. Some people report feeling better pain relief when they take both an NSAID and acetaminophen for their pain. "
OK ... there is hope LOL!!
