A member asked:
My father has osteoarthritis he's suffering from pain in his knee he takes mobic (meloxicam) for it but for how long he should take it to treat the inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indefinitely: He will probably need to be on an anti-inflammatory for pain control unless he is a candidate for hyalruonic acid injections or knee replacement.
