Ixekizumab vs MELOXICAM

Came up as an ad on Reddit. We’re doing BOGO on injectables now?

I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis when I was 20, I’m now 28. My medication journey has been nothing short of annoying. I’ve tried nearly all TNF blockers and they help my symptoms, but the injections themselves are horrific for some, or my insurance won’t cover them. Humira: injection site

I have been living with psoriatic arthrisis for almost 2 years. I am 23yo. I caught covid in December 2021 and I started feeling pain in my back out of nowhere. I let a couple of months pass by before the pain worsened and one day I couldn't stand on my left leg without feeling atrocious pain. Went

In a couple of weeks I'll be starting on Taltz (ixekizumab). Is anyone one it? Has anyone been on it? Was it effective? What side effects should I expect? Anything I should know going in?

Tldr - Been through Methotrexate (DMARD) , Humira / Adalimumab (Anti-TNF) , Taltz / Ixekizumab (IL-17A), and currently on Cosentyx / Secukinumab (IL-17A), Sulfasalazine (1000mg) and Ibuprofen (1600mg) I’m thinking of switching to a Jak inhibitor. But all the risks involved are ma

Hi all, My now-4 year old son has ILVEN that I described in [my initial post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ilven/comments/swimto/what_has_been_your_ilven_experience/). Since then, it's grown significantly across the entirety of the left side of his body, from head to foot. It seems to have progress

I am absolutely going to scream! I had a vacation recently with friends where on the last day my meloxicam got packed into the bag, was unreachable and I hit a flareup mid morning. Not proud of it but I had a meltdown at some point because everything was too much and they wanted to discuss everythin

My pain doctor increased my hydrocodone from 3 a day to 4 a day. My pharmacist refused to fill the prescription. The prescription was sent to them on 10/6. They didn’t fill it. So my Dr sent it again on 10/22. Now I have 2 pills left, and the pharmacist said he needs the Dr to write out his detail

it be like that.

I had to tag this as funny, in a very sarcastic way. Talk about feeling unseen. I am on meloxicam, cymbalta and Humira for my RA. Stretching, Epsom salts baths, plant based diet just in case, meditate, starting therapy, limit my caffeine, medical marijuana. I know what I forgot, ibuprofen!

Hey, all. I have chronic pain due to ehlers danlos, fibromyalgia, carpal and ulnar tunnel in both arms, osteoarthritis in my lower back, and what I think are some other issues that haven't been diagnosed. I've had pain for years and have tried everything over the counter as well as Celebrex, Meloxic

After struggling for years with doctors that either don't take me seriously, try stupid solutions that dont work or just help me learn to "cope with it" instead of working on a diagnosis i got a new primary doctor THAT ACTUALLY LISTENS!!!! I mentioned a few different things i think i could have, she

First, this is a rant and basically nothing but a rant. I'm new here and I've been reading through a lot of posts that might apply to me. I just turned 40 in Feb of this year. Memorial day weekend of 2023 my car got totaled on a drivers side impact, and I've been in excruciating pain ever since. I'v

What’s up with Pain management drs not giving out pain killers to people who actually need it? Not everyone has addictive behaviors! I just had shoulder surgery was given a script of 30 OxyContin 5s that’s it and when I asked surgeon to get it refilled I was told to go to pain management. So I go to
