Has anyone post-op used Vioxx or Celebrex?

I've pulled muscles in my lower back and am just in complete agony trying to work and keep my life going. (Never realized just how much you used the darn things before!) I know we aren't supposed to take ibuprofen, but what else can I ask my doctor to give me? I've got a call in to my surgeon, but both he and his nurse are out today, so I'm getting desparate! LOL Are Vioxx or Celebrex okay? Thanks for your help!
