A member asked:

Hurt my knee. went to dr 3 days ago. no damage..but hurts to put weight on it and the mobic (meloxicam) meds aren't helping. should i give mobic (meloxicam) more time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: How did the doctor know there was no damage? If your knee hurts that much there was damage. Mobic (meloxicam) needs about 2 weeks to maximize benefit.
