Comment:
Worked great for arthritis and severe knee pain after just a few days - but then the itching started. Severe itching all over - neck, shoulders, hips, inner thighs, upper arms - driving me crazy! Guess I'm allergic - too bad because didn't have any other bad side effects so far.

Comment:
I have no side effects. I havebeen using Piroxicam for several years and can't function without it. It relieves my pain and stiffness associated with C-spine joint inflamation.

Comment:
Dr didn't tell me smokers shouldn't take it. I have severe difficulty breathing. Hands swelled up and frequent urination. It worked wonderfully for the pain but if you can't breathe then it's not very effective. I had to choose between pain or breathing. I decided to breathe!
