years. It is the only thing that keeps my back from hurting.
Brief Answer:
I will advise against!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Using both together increases the risk of bleeding which at times may be fatal. I will discourage against using both together. What other medications have you tried for this back pain? There are more potent pain medications that you might not have simply tried.
I will suggest you stop this. Try other pain medications such as ultram and Codeine. If they fail, then we will have to try other pain medications with safer profiles.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow me if need be.
