Aleve and Advil aren't aspirin. Aleve is naproxen and Advil is ibuprofen. Both are way better painkillers that Tylenol.

they are also way better at destroying the liver. I still take them all the time since that's all the works for me, OTC

Actually Tylenol is known to be the worst for your liver. Ibuprofen rapes your stomach. Not sure about naproxen.

diazepam and oxycodone

Originally posted by MeLLyMeL I dunno if it is stress related.. (it may be) I have had this same upper back pain before but it happened as soon as I woke up (assumed it was because my pillows are ridiculously flat). Yesterday I woke up fine but it wasn't until I looked down at work that it began hurting. I couldn't sleep last night. It hurts so much more today. I've tried taking magnesium which is supposed to promote muscle health and is apparently good for nerve impulses. (the natural way) Been taking tylenol, Tiger Balm patches, used the heating pad this morning. What a disaster - I need to feel better before the weekend and last time I had this pain it lasted a good 4 days. Any suggestions?

You're taking Tylenol because you have some minor back pain. Great idea.

Go and see a masseur or a physiotherapist. They should charge you less than $100 for a one-off. Then check your mattress. My back was fucked a few years ago, so I slept on the floor one night and woke up back to normal. A sagging mattress can do a lot of damage.

Unless you're taking Aleve, Advil, Tylenol or Aspirin on a regular basis, your stomach/liver/kidneys will be fine. If you're an alcoholic, then it would probably be good to stay away from all of those (along with most other meds), especially Tylenol. Taking any of those for a few days in order to deal with back pain is not going to "hurt" you.

I'm not sure what kind of reaction your Mom might have had to Aspirin, but it's not a good idea to give little kids Aspirin in the first place, so perhaps that's why she gave you Tylenol as a kid. However, in the grand scheme of things, unless Tylenol is used in combination with other pain relievers it is pretty weak and has about zero anti-inflammatory ability. If you're really that scared about an adverse reaction, try a smaller dose and work your way up. True allergic reactions to either Aleve or Advil are fairly rare.
