I use Tylenol and Ibuprofen together, it works for the pain I have from osteoarthritis, and I used it with three surgeries; here is some info on it. Ask your doctor about it. "It is generally considered safe for adults to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) together or to alternate their use, as they function through different mechanisms to alleviate pain and reduce fever. When dealing with severe pain, the combined effect of these medications can be more pronounced than using either alone. However, it is important to adhere to the maximum daily limits for each medication to avoid potential health risks."
