They probably won't let you take aspirin but you can ask. There is also the active that is in the OTC product Aleve. It is Naproxen. OTC is Aleve but there are prescription versions that might have more drug active. They are Anaprox or Naprosyn. You should see if you can have this active ingredient or if that will also be a problem.

Then, you still have Celebrex. It is still on the market and ironically, has some anticancer effects. This is all I can think of right now.

Hugs and kisses to you.
