Tylenol eight hour arthritis pills for joint pain?

Current guidelines for acetaminophen (Tylenol) are to take no more than 3,000mg daily. I take 2,000. No liver problems so doctor says this is ok for me. Tramadol is a good effective drug. My husband was on it for back pain after complicated back surgery for a few years. But you are dependent on a doctor who has to order it , and it is a schedule 4 controlled substance so it can be difficult to get some doctors to order it.

Guidelines for daily acetaminophen are no more than 4,000 mg in a 24 hour period. I got this information on a bottle of ES Tylenol rapid release capsules.
So I’m very careful if I take any extra Tylenol and so far all my liver tests are good.
Tramadol is good but it is still classified an opioid which is why it is sometimes hard to get doctors to order it. I had a reaction to Tramadol and can’t take it. So my doctor prescribed Percocet, another opioid, which is oxycodone combined with acetaminophen. I have PMR, currently on 7.5 mg prednisone, inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis. I’m under tight control with my opioid medication with a pain management team.
