A member asked:

My left ribcage is higher than right due to scoliosis does its normlly painful coz i got pain and when i take meloxicam it bcme ok ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: This type of formation in people who have scoliosis is normal and is subject to ache and pain. Meloxicam is a non steroidal medication like celecoxib, ibuprofen and naproxen are safe painkillers and most do not require a prescription.It is important not to take these medications on an empty stomach as they may cause gastric irritation.
