Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
Yes sir, DVT is a side effect of Oxycodone. So you can get examined by a local surgeon for it. He may do some physical tests and dropper ultrasound. you should take it seriously. Both these drugs cause gastrointestinal irritation and thus upset. Consult your prescribing Physician for replacement such as Etoricoxib or other NSAIDs along with some PPI inhibitors.
Thank you for the query. Hope this clarifies your concerns.
Take care
