do they or can they just use NSAIDs none steroidal anti-inflamatoy drugs, or aspirin or acetaminophen for minor surgery like for muscle biopsy? to stop pain
 
As an adjunct to LA, yes.
On their own, you could if you really want to, but your professional board and defence organisation might not approve.
 
Local Anesthesia would be used to stop/minimize any pain from the procedure. The other stuff would be used to control post-procedure discomfort. In my case, I had small cyst removed and while I was a little sore after the local wore off, the discomfort was easily tolerable without any further medication.

Oh, and everyone's different. Another person may need Vicodin for pain control.

but for a minor surgery like muscle are the none steroidal anti inflamatory drugs, aspirin , or acetaminopnen enough for the pain on their own? and is it usual- to use just this
 
"Minor Surgery " is like "Minor office procedure"

Means the doctor isn't undergoing it.
NSAIDS can promote bleeding.

Some can, and sometimes that might be significant. There's plenty of scope for using Paracoxib or similar.

seems like these are used for postoperative pain, do they ever? or rarely use them in mino surgery like muscle biopsy instead of local anesthetics? basically i want to know is there something to block pain without numbing like LAs would cause

what i want to know is there something strong enough for pain from minor surgery like muscle biopsy, without central anesthetia, acts locally, without the numbing of local anesthetics

Seriously?

If you really don't want any form of anaesthesia why don't you man-up and do it yourself with a rusty penknife?

the paracoxib that you mentioned and NSAIDs, aspirin,acetominophen are usually used postoperative,they wouldn't use these instead of local anesthetic during muscle biopsy would they?

Aspirin, tylenol and the like are not good for acute local pain.

They most often use lidocaine. And depending on what the procedure entails, the physicians opinion, ones level of pain tolerance, and anxiety, they may give low doses of opioids and benzos (like fent/versed).

It would be foolish not to take something.
