I find aceteminophen works best for muscle tension related pain, such as backache or tension headache. I particularly use it if I'm having trouble sleeping due to my neck and shoulders being tense from stress or work at the computer.

It just doesn't seem to work for Migraines. Ibuprofen helps as long as they aren't severe for me.

I'll use tylenol for migraine if nothing else is handy. But overll it's like throwing pebbles to stop a train.

Tylenol is the only OTC pain reliever/fever reducer that I can use now that I have had gastric bypass surgery. NSAIDs are too harsh on the revised gut structure of a Roux en Y patient. It has been three years since my surgery and I have relied completely on Tylenol for relief of headache pain. I also take the Tylenol PM product after a particularly rough physical day when I have body aches and need help falling asleep. It does the trick every time. I rely on Tylenol.

I was taking Tylenol for knee pain (especially at bedtime) for a few years. Sometimes I would have to take it upon awakening or even during the day, but I really needed it at night. I was disappointed that its action didn’t last longer. But I continued to use Tylenol; because I thought it was probably the safest thing to do to treat the pain, even though I sometimes had to take it several times throughout the day. I never went over the recommended daily dosage. Now, however, my doctor won’t let me use it at all. She was concerned about its affect on my liver function and had me stop it completely. My liver function tests have stabilized since I stopped taking the Tylenol. I now take Aleve. It takes fewer doses, lasts longer and hasn’t caused the problems with my liver.Read More Read Less

My only problem with Tylenol is due to its ease of use and no immediate apparent side effects AND due to the continuing pain from Fibromyalgia, it became easy to take far too much on a regular basis. Plus, I believe there is a rebound effect to consider; the more you take the more the need for it builds, thereby losing its effectiveness. So, after taking more than the label advised for many years to combat the pain, I slowly weaned myself off of it. Now I use relatively little (2-3 Extra Strength Tylenol per night) to take just the edge off the pain and because I no longer overuse it, what little I take is more helpful. (I have chosen to not otherwise use medication to treat my Fibromyalgia pain, instead relying on exercise and other lifestyle choices.) I'm also aware that Tylenol is processed through the liver so I avoid drinking alcohol when using it, which means most of the time. Read More Read Less
