Piroxicam for Rheumatic Disease causing Pain & Stiffness in Backbone
My blood pressure went up after taking this medication, and I also experienced burning in my stomach. However, it did successfully reduce my joint pain.

Piroxicam for Gout
I've been struggling with some intense back pain that has now spread down my left leg all the way to my thigh. There have been times when the pain in my thigh is worse than the pain in my back and we can actually see the muscle spasms happening.

Piroxicam for Joint Damage causing Pain and Loss of Function
The pain I was experiencing dissipated rather quickly after using this treatment.

Piroxicam for Joint Damage causing Pain and Loss of Function
I was prescribed this medication even though I'm allergic to sulfa drugs, and sure enough I had an itchy reaction within an hour of taking it. Additionally, this medication is not meant for people who have high blood pressure—something my doctor should have known. Overall, there wasn't much relief from my osteoarthritis pain, so in the end it wasn't worth the hassle.

Piroxicam for Rheumatic Disease causing Pain & Stiffness in Backbone
I was prescribed this for a muscle strain but found it didn't do much in terms of reducing swelling and pain. Over-the-counter Naproxen Sodium worked better for me.

Is piroxicam stronger than ibuprofen?
