If you are on blood thinners then Tylenol is your only over the counter pain reliever. I recently dealt with severe back pain and even the max dose of Tylenol was not sufficient. Especially when the max dose is 2 500mg tablets every 6 hrs, however you can only take 6 tablets per day. If you do the math you have no pain medication for 6 hrs a day.
I was just to my Doctor several weeks ago. Complaint was a burning pain on outside of my leg and a BP check. Doc told me the tylenol wouldn’t be effective as it doesn’t relieve inflammation. Prescribed naproxen for 2 weeks to help. Thought it would mess with my BP, Doc said it was ok for short period of time.
People conflate the two type of pain relievers he said. If you have inflammation causing the problem, tylenol won’t help.
