Is there a 'safe' anti-inflammatory med that we can take post-op?

I'm having shoulder pain that (from previous pre-op experience) I know will require an anti-inflammatory to heal. Motrin/Ibuprofen are out of the question, right? Is there any safe anti-inflammatory drug that I can ask my PCP to prescribe? Thanks, as always, Vicki Lap RNY 4/1/03 260/176/160
