I am a type 11 Diabetic and have just had a stent implanted in my artery that was 90% blocked. I am experiencing a muscular leg pain from my buttocks through my thigh and down to my calf and shin. My question is haw harmful will and should I try Meloxicam?
Hi, I can understand your concern with the medicine meloxicam. Meloxicam is just another NSAID, and it decreases your pain and inflammation. So far your question is concerned, I will say that it is not contraindicated in diabetes and even in HD, but it should not be taken regularly and if you wish to take it for a longer period of time, you should get your kidney function checked every three months as with any other NSAID. My advice - As you are a diabetic, please check your kidney function every 3 months even if a doctor has prescribed it for a longer period. I hope, My answer is useful. Please do not hesitate to ask a counter question if required. Thanks, Chat Doctor.
