Ankle Update


Saw the orthopedic surgeon yesterday.

He didn't like how swollen my ankle was/is.

Got a RX for Meloxicam - generally used for people with arthritis.

I haven't started taking it yet - thought I'd give it a couple of days to see if there is any change, as I hate taking RX drugs...especially after I read all the potential side effects etc. Hmmm would I rather have a swollen ankle or a bleeding ulcer, or a heart attack...
