I had the same prescription about 10 years ago, I didn't even bother filling it because I barely had any pain.
High-dose alternating ibuprofen & acetaminophen seems to be the go-to regimen nowadays, with oxycodone only for severe pain control and only in combination with acetaminophen. Apparently oxycodone and acetaminophen have synergistic effects; anecdotally, when someone I know had a major inpatient surgery recently, they said that the oxycodone made them feel like shit unless they took the acetaminophen along with it.
I don't know why they use high-dose ibuprofen instead of meloxicam, but I guess there are good reasons for it (maybe greater risk of GI damage?).
