NSAIDs good: Worth a try. If this NSAID provides you with symptom relief, then should stick with it. Local cold compresses early (first ~3 days) then warm will also help.

Anti-inflammatory: Meloxicam is a good anti-inflammatory medication for the appropriate condition and the right patient. Ask your doctor if it is right for you.
