Saw my GP today for Wellness visit. Asked him about OTC pain relief due to upcoming surgery and knowing that I can’t take ibuprofen or anti-inflammatory for 5 days leading into surgery. He told me take Tylenol Arthritis. Aleve was my go to for years and Advil somewhat so this will be an experiment to say the least. Prednisone does the trick for my PMR and the Advil took the edge off hand pain and stiffness so hoping Tylenol Arthritis works. Anyone else us TA?

If it were me I would definitely follow the doctors instructions before your upcoming surgery! Before surgery you want to make sure that your blood is not too thin and Tylenol arthritis will work not as good as your other medication‘s but it’s better than nothing. Best wishes on your upcoming surgery.
