 Hello,
Tramadol is a non narcotic pain medicine in a different class than NSAID or aspirin.
Also if the problem with aspirin or NSAID is gastrointestinal irritation then a topical cream like Voltaren may work. Methyl salicylate topical ointments may also help - see over the counter liniment's active ingredients for methyl salicylate.
Wintergreen essential oil also contains 85% methyl salicylate - just make sure it's therapeutic grade oil.
Lininment or oil can be messaged directly into affected joint. Adding moist heat may enhance the benefit.
Take care.
