My mom has been dealing with severe pain in her right leg joint, and the X-ray showed an osteophyte at the superior pole of her right patella. The doctor prescribed Etoricoxib 120 mg tablets, which she takes daily along with recommended exercises, but there's no improvement. When she stops the meds because of side effects like stomach upset and giddiness, the pain comes back. Is there any other treatment option for her, or would surgery be advisable in this case? Also, is it safe to take Etoricoxib long-term given the side effects?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
