How does ibuprofen compare to Celebrex or Toradol for post surgery inflammation and pain?
Ibuprofen has always worked for me in the past and I'd prefer a safer alternative.

None of these are really a safer alternative, so to speak, because they are all NSAIDs, so the possible risks, such as stomach ulceration, gastritis and increased risk of bleeding are about the same for all. Really, it would most likely be best to stick with the one that you know works well for you.

What has your surgeon recommended? Of the choices you listed, Toradol is the strongest, so it may provide the most pain relief.
