A member asked:
I have osteoarthritis in both knees got a cortisone shot it's helping. would it benefit to stop taking molaxicam until they start hurting bad again?

Varies: It varies. In the best case scenario, the shot would work well and you would not have to take the meloxic regularly, you may have to just try it and see. If you stop the meloxic am and the pain recurs, you may have to go back on it, in general, it is safer if you can get off the medication. Thank you.
