Is There Interaction Between Norco And Meloxicam?

I am on Norco (5/325, every 4 to 6 hours) following a total hip replacement. Prior to that, I was on Meloxicam (15 mg once daily) for joint pain (shoulder and elbow). The Meloxicam was discontinued when I went on the Norco, but I am now getting a lot of joint pain (elbow, shoulder, knees, ankles, etc.). Is it OK to go back on the Meloxicam while taking Norco? I still have half my Meloxicam prescription left, so I wouldn t need a new prescription. My email address is: YYYY@YYYY .

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is better to avoid taking narcotic analgesic as long as the pain is concern and better to stop the narcotic and have your Meloxicam again hope this information helps.
