Is It Harmful To Take NSAIDS After Total Knee Replacement?

I am having a total knee replacement on Monday and after walking (shopping) for 1/2 hour today, my knee is killing me. I ve been told not to take any NSAIDS and I have some hydrocodone 325 - is that an NASID? would it be ok to take just one tonight so I can get some sleep?

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.
taking overdose of nsaids is definitely harmful and should be avoided.
it damages your kidneys and liver to a large extent.
try taking safe nasaids that too in low doses.
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
