<s>[INST] Hi Doctor! I was diagnosed witChatDoctorpressed 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 [/INST] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. In the short-term, taking painkillers such as attract 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. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/ </s>
