Diagnosed With Compressed Lumbar, Pinched Nerve And Bone Spur. Have Body Aches. Is There A Side Effect For Neurotonin And Ultracer?
Hi Doctor! I was diagnosed with compressed Lumbar 2 and 3. There is a nerve pinched and bone spur. I also have general body aches everyday. Can I take 1 nuerontin (300 mg), 1 ultracet and 1 meloxicam spread out daily. It seems to ease the pain but I am afraid of the side effects. Please advice. Thank you. My email address YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
In the short-term, taking pain killers such as ultracet and meloxicam are safe and should not be of any concern. However, if you go for permanent solution, it would be better. This would consist of physiotherapy and neurontin. In some cases, epidural injections or surgery may be needed. Please discuss these with your neurosurgeon.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
