If his doctor: prescribed both of those for him, yes. But bear in mind they have an added sedating quality. Don't plan on driving or making any important decisions in the next few hours after taking,

Be careful,: orphenadrine and oxycodone both increase sedation and drowsiness. It is always good to ask a prescribing physician for side effects and potential complications. You also can apply moist heat, passive stretch and squeeze, gentle massage and Aleve (naproxen) OTC. See your PCP soon.
