Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Cox-2 inhibitors are contraindicated in patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleed due to an increased risk of further bleeding. Tylenol and TENS are safe options for pain management, and a proton-pump inhibitor may be prescribed to protect against any potential gastrointestinal complications.
