Pain Relievers?

Does anyone know of a good pain reliever that does NOT contain Ibuprofen (or any other Non-Steroidals) OR Acetaminophen?? I was recently advised by a Dr. not to take either - and I get crippling headaches. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!

Update:

The Doc I saw was an ER Dr... and really didn't have any suggestions.

    While the Doctor was telling you all this you should have asked him.

    Vicoden is my answer

    Did he say that you couldn't take aspirin? You may be able to take Bufferin, but I'd just call the doctor and ask him. Also, Vicoden contains acetaminophen and can only be prescribed by a physician. I can't believe that the ER doctor couldn't recommend anything. That's kind of scary. Maybe the pharmacist can be of some help.

    Vicodin contains quite a bit of acetaminophen (tylenol). Maybe your doctor could write you a prescription for Tramadol.
