Is It Safe To Take Oxycodone Along With Meloxicam For Arthritis Pain?

I have arthritis, am 55 and otherwise in excellent health.Meloxicam did not alleviate arthritis pain, but I/4 of a 5mg oxycododone does wonders. Yet I still feel very hot in my toes and fingers. MIloxycam relieves this. Is it ok to take the miloxycam when I am taking 1/4 of the lowest dose of Oxycodone available?
