Yeah, I know the knots are a result of the other issues. Just wishing I could find a way to treat the cause rather than the side-effect/symptom.
Yes, meloxicam is an NSAID, but like I said, I have the same issues as you (bleeding if I take ibuprofen) but meloxicam (std. dose is one small 15mg pill per day) doesn't cause me to bleed. (Aspirin will if I take non-buffered, or take more than one per day). Just a suggestion to discuss with your doctor.

We'd all like to treat the cause rather than the symptom, but when that's not possible/practical... at least trigger point massage isn't putting yet another pill down the ol' gullet.... YMMV.
