Is there any safe prescription painkillers that are not narcotic/addictive?

Yes: There are several options available that are non narcotic. Options range from aleve, celebrex, (celecoxib) vioxx to toradol. These are nsaids (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). You should check with your healthcare provider to see which one is most appropriate.
