@marilynwhitlock, Hi Marilyn and welcome to Connect.
My post transplant takehome notebook says that we, transplant recipients can take Tylenol.
It also says that we should NOT take aspirin or other pain relivers (Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen, Motrim, Excedrine, etc) - UNLESS your transplant physician ordered it.

Remember to read and observe the allowed dosage on the package. Don't exceed the maximum.
I hope this helps.
Is this a sudden or a chronic pain?

I agree with Rosemary. I was told only Tylenol. How often you can take it per day I don't remember.
