A member asked:

Can a person use aspercreme when told to stop aspirin 1 week before total knee surgery?

Need a different doc: There is no reason to stop Aspirin before this surgery. It may actually increase your risks of having a heart attack...But, aspercreme is Aspirin and likely has anti-platlet effects.

Yes: Check with your doctor, but generally, creams are ok.
