For me, it called into question my daily use of meloxicam (Mobic--also an NSAID) for my arthritic knees. I don't take the ibuprofen except under extreme need because I take the meloxicam daily. I'm wondering if those who took it regularly built up a tolerance or something? And am I in the same situation with the meloxicam?

I will say this...the meloxicam makes me able to get out of bed in the morning and walk down the stairs with very little pain, and I'd have to have a specific compelling reason before I gave up that little bit of heaven.
