Will I be able to take NSAIDS by suppository?

I am preop and mourning the loss of Advil and Aleve in advance. I have some joint pain that I hope will improve with weight loss, but I suffer badly from migraines and the thought of being without NSAIDS is frightening. I am allergic to Celebrex, and I don't react well to Imitrex. I don't want to have to take narcotics every time I have a headache (which can be almost daily at times). I had headaches quite a bit as a teenager at normal weight, so I am not counting on the weight loss to change the headaches. It occurred to me that I might be able to get ibuprofen or aleve by suppository, from a compounding pharmacy if it's not made commercially. Does anyone have any info about this? A web search seemed to indicate that Indocin was the only NSAID available by suppository, and that drug didn't seem to be for casual use. Toradol by injection works, but I can't use it with the frequency (or convenience) I'd like. Thanks in advance.
