Can Celebrex And Gabapentin Be Taken Together?

I have a question regarding Celebrex and gabapentin. Should I be taking them together or should I tak Meloxicam My pain is never completely controlled. I have hip bursitis, 4 herniated discs--some numbing of the right foot, bad knee and drop foot somewhat on the right. I know I am a mess, but I am wondering if something else would work better. I have tried over-the counter meds and they work well for a few hours? Thankyou L. Barksdale

Hello,

Yes, you can use Gabapentin with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Celebrex or etorcoxib. It will help you get relief from pain plus you should mainly avoid painful positions and follow a planned exercise and pain medication regimen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nahida Altaf, General & Family Physician
