What Can I Do To Relieve My Pain Caused Due To Arthritis And Bursitis In One Hip?

My 94 year old dad has been on warfarin for many years. Now he has bad arthritis and bursitis in one hip and is taking sometimes Aleve and sometimes Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I've told him he shouldn't be taking them, but he says Tylenol doesn't help. He does get his blood checked every month or more often and so far so good, but what can he do to relieve the pain if he doesn't use the above NSAID's? If he uses them regularly and has his warfarin ajusted accordingly would it still be bad?
