Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Sustained Cervical Fracture, Had Fusion. Will Meloxicam Help In Pain Management?
I sustained a cervical fracture at C3,4,5 in 1969 and then at C6.7. &T1 in 1991 in which I had a fusion and hardware for stability. It is an honor to sit here and talk with you. I have been taking tramadol 100mg TID for chronic pain. Would meloxicam 15mg QD be a possibility for pain management and have less seizure side effects?
