Can I Take Hydrocodone And Meloxicam To Cure Chronic Leg Pain And Burning Sensation, And Osteoarthritis?
I am having chronic pain in my right leg with a burning sensation. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis about 5years ago. I have had little pain with it but for the past two weeks, this pain in my leg won't subside. I take hydrocodone 750 ml and meloxicam 15 mg. (not at the same time) and Intake two at a time and NOTHING stops the pain. I absolutely have to ignore it at night to sleep. My doctor has me starting physical therapy on Monday, but I am seriously considering going to the ER cause I don't think I can wait til Monday. Help!!

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Hydrocodone and meloxicam are both the pain killers and will give you only a short term relief. For osteoarthritis, you need to take calcium supplements and joint lubricant supplements.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
