One-two Punch: Meloxicam & Cyclobenzaprine

I have been on meloxicam and cyclobenzaprine for two weeks.  My doctor had prescribed them to treat my lower back pain and discomfort from my knees.  I noticed immediate improvement after the 3rd or 4th day.  I was back on the saddle by the 6th and had ridden 100+ miles by the 10th day.

I start physical therapy next week and I plan to stop taking both medications a few days before my appointment to allow the therapist make an accurate assessment without the effect of medication.
