Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of hip replacement surgery and taking 2 baby aspirins a day causing pain in stomach, burning, can not eat much; stopped aspirin and started on Etodolac.
I would advise you the following:
Get started on a PPI like Omeprazole, antacid and Domperidone.
Stop all medication, as you have been operated 3 weeks ago, you may not really need any painkillers or anti-inflammatory medication.
Soft bland diet.
Small frequent meals.
If no relief, you may need an Upper GI Endoscopy.

I find this answer helpful
