What pain reliever can i take and how often. i'm on aspirin ec 325 mg, having knee replacement appx. 5 wks ago.

Consult your surgeon: tell hin/her about the ASA intake. You will most likely have to stop @ least 10 days before surgery usually, & the surgeon will tell you his/her policy. Some surgeons as well as myself are not worried about continuing to take it up to the day of surgery.
