Is there an Alternative to NSAIDs?

Now that I have had Gastric Bypass, Roux en Y, I cannot have NSAIDs.  Does anyone know if  there is an alternative so that when I have arthritis issues and flare ups, I can still get pain relief and take away some of the inflamation?

My arthritis is so much better with the loss of weight.  I use the tylenol as needed and for those rare occassions that need something stronger, I use Rx ultram.  Carrie, check with your surgeon on acceptable things for you.  You are right about no more  nsaids.
