Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If you are allergic to NSAIDs and you want to stop morphine then you can take a milder opioid like Tramadol for acute pain. Tylenols are the best options for a mild pain. Do consult your orthopedician and get tramadol prescribed according to the severity of your pain.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
