Hello,
I think you need to take different pain killer in combination rather than taking single drug. I would recommend you following combination.
1.Tablet Etoricoxib 90 mg one daily. Always take it after meal.
2.Tablet Ultracet twice daily.
3.Regular calcium and Vitamin D 3.
4. Hot water fomentation for knee joints.
5. Volitran ointment
I hope these steps will help you.
