Hello,

Use Tramadol or Ibuprofen for pain relief. You can take NSAIDs like tab. Ibuprofen daily twice. You can take tab. Pantop 40 mg once daily before food to prevent gastric irritation. But if you have the underlying problems, you shouldn't take NSAIDs:
1) Bleeding problems
2) Kidney failure
3) Heart failure
4) Severe peptic ulcer

If you have any of the above problems, you can take tab. Tramadol twice daily.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
