You cannot take any other anti inflammatory drugs, (such as aspirin, ibuprofen or diclofenac,) but you can add paracetamol. (Avoid codeine at all costs as it is a poor analgesic and quite addictive.)

You can't take any other NSAID's (anti-inflammatories) so no ibuprofen/aspirin/naproxen etc, but you can take paracetamol and other painkillers in different classes like codeine derivatives with it safely. I would advise you to go back to the doctor as you're having such bad pains, they may prescribe you something different.
