Long-term etoricoxib
I am suffering from cervical spine disc bulges at multiple levels,
I'm taking aceclofenac
pregabalin 75mg twice daily
Duloxetine 20mg twice daily
Tramadol 100mg twice daily
Mri shows no significant compression on nerves or spinal cord so doctor rejected surgery
But i still have significant pain that affects my daily life routine i can't work without painkillers
I'm taking etoricoxib 90 mg daily and it significantly reduces my pain
Can I i use these medicines regularly for long-term
I don't have bp, heart problem, kidney disease or any other health issues
Have healthy weight and diet,and drinks plenty of water
You can't take all these analegesic medication at a time, u can take any analgesice for short duration hardly not more than 10days even if u don't have any commodities, can take PREGABALIN but don't stop suddenly

No these medicines should not been taken on long term basis.
All have their side effects even if patient is non comorbid.
Acelofenac can damage kidney.
Tramadol can become habit forming.
Pregabalin you can take for some time.
Rest should be avoided
