At my pharmacy, I have my file flagged that I am allergic to NSAIDs. I am not, but I figure it's the safest flag to have on file to make sure I don't get one on accident and waste my money on a script that I can't use.
We can use steroids for inflammation.
I think you need to call the doc tomorrow and remind her that you should not take NSAIDS and ask what else she can recommend.

NSAIDS can cause ulcers because they cause the lining of the stomach (the old stomach and the pouch) to thin out. This does NOT happen when the medication enters the pouch or touches the pouch. It happens when the medicine enters your blood stream. That’s why you can get ulcers in your old stomach. NSAIDS taken by mouth don’t touch the old stomach but can still cause ulcers there.
Any way you take an NSAID – pill, liquid, shot, IV, patch, gel – it gets into your blood stream. If it does not get into your blood stream, it will not give you any pain relief or relieve inflammation.
