Can I Safely Take Both Colchicine And Meloxicam For Gout And Potential Bone Spur Pain?

Can you take both colchicine and meloxicam at the same time. I have gout, but only flairs up once in a couple of years. I have never had it in my ankle, only in my big toe. I have not been eating or drinking those types of things that usually cause the flair up. I also have bone spurs in ankle, but have not had a reaction or irritation in over 10 years and have not had any physical activity in over 4 days. All of a sudden through the night I started feeling pain in my ankle and continued to get worse this am and very much feels like the gout pain that I am familiar with. I can hardly walk. I dont know if its gout related pain or an unusual bone spur in ankle acting up. took some colchicine about 3 hours ago and think might be some improvement. took one .6 mg tablet. Can i take more than 1/day and other question can I take a meloxicam in case its not gout for potential bone spurs acting up.
