What eased your aches&pains during no aspirin allowed pre-op?

How in the world have any of you been able to manage your pre~op time with no pain killers or anti inflamitory med's(containing aspirin)? I have severe arthritis,degenerative joint desease in both knees and on top of all that fibromalgia. I have been almost 2 wks with no meds other than my Tylenol,anti depressant,hypertension meds and it isnt helping at all! I can barely walk! How in the world will I be able to RIGHT AFTER SURGERY? What all have you all tried to ease the pain and stiffness before hand? My surgery is on this Friday? Any suggestions anyone?
