Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2005Tylenol Arthritis 650 mg
Went to Walgreens got Tylenol Arthritis (100 count.....it sure helped shoulder pain. I skipped the Voltaren to see if tylenol worked (x2 ) ? Yep!.....it'l hold me till I see Ortho Doc Bonnie > Went to Walgreens got Tylenol Arthritis (100 count.....it sure helped > shoulder pain. I skipped the Voltaren to see if tylenol worked (x2 ) ? > > Yep!.....it'l hold me till I see Ortho Doc > > Bonnie i'm glad it's helping you, bonnie. i'm confused, though. so, if the tylenol is helping and the voltaren didn't help you, does that mean you are not having a problem with inflammation in your shoulder? kate I switched to Tylenol arthritis (extended release caplets 650 mgs) and took myself off Voltaren (100mg) to test the stronger Tylenol. I do have inflammation and will see an Ortho in two weeks. Tylenol Rapid Release gels are only 500 mg. Bonnie Ever think that maybe the Voltaren has to build up in your system before it provides relief? Some meds are like that...... Bonnie Well I was told that it can take 2-3 hours for Voltaren to kick in (and last 8 hrs), but 100 mgs is pretty low dose 1x a day. I have takem myself off Voltaren to try the Tylenol Arthritis-- So far I take it twice a day x 2 pills = 4 pills a day Eat well if you take Tylenol Arthritis (650 mgs) It can bother your stomach Bonnie Bonnie, Tylenol is not supposed to bother your stomach. Are you sure that was what caused you problems? It is just about the safest thing you can take for stomach.

The only thing harder on a persons stomach than Sodas and NSAIDs is prednisone. I had a brush with acid reflux but I changed to a better brand of bourbon with distilled water and gave up the Sodas. :-) Harv Well....soda don't bother me depending on what I am drinking--but usually PEPSI-- and I am NOT on prednisone. I just try to eat good. Bonnie I just checked the ingredients on my bottle of Tylenol Arthritis, and it does not have caffeine in it.

Voltaren IS a "build up medication"--has to build up in system--before you get relief And that it was OK to switch off of it (voltaren) to the Tylenol 650--til I see him on 8-1-05 Nurses were in error Bonnie |
