Back in early '18 after I broke my pelvis (acetabulum, to be more precise), I did some research on the topic of NSAID's, particularly iburofen, and bone healing. My conclusion at the time was the prohibition was based on scant evidence and there's also some evidence that points the other way. I did take some ibuprofen for "break out" pain and it was way more effective than the Tylenol for that, but I tried to keep my usage down to a minimum. This middle course seemed reasonable at the time and to me it still does. It worked out fine for me but YMMV of course.
I had a hip replacement 12 days ago and have not gone to the ibuprofen so far, but that's in lrge part because the tylenol/tramadol/celebrex routine I'm on seems to be working fine. But I wouldn't hesitate to take some ibu if it was killing me.
I'm not a doctor or medical professional in any way, so make up your own mind of course..
Wow, Ice, good luck on the recovery. I got my knee replacement 12 days ago as well. Interested to hear how your healing is coming along, mine has been amazing. I am walking without crutches, on my stationary bike (just simple revolutions), and I am going out to do some snow blowing this afternoon.
Heal up!
