Allowable medicines for flying

I recently had an operation on a disc in my back which had to be redone. During the second operation it was found that the surrounding tissue was infected and this in turn affected the nerves.

As a result I am taking the following medicines:
Paracetamol
Diclofenac
Gabapentin
Tramadol

I fly on an NPPL licence and would like to know which, if any, of the above I would be allowed to take and fly. My reasoning is that if a truck driver would be allowed to take any of these (same medical as for NPPL) then maybe I could.

I would like to have a 'target' to aim for so that I could continue to fly.
