What Is An Alternative Of Tylenol For Pain Relief?

I have been taking tylenol #4 s for abouut a year and a half now and they are just not as effective qs they where in the beginning. I now take two at a time every 6 hours as needed for pain and allit really does is take the edge off, it doesnt realy stop the pain. What would be a good choice in pain medication to move up to?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Treatment depend on the which type of pain and cause of pain
You can ask your doctor following alternative medicine:
Drugs like meloxicam, naproxen can be used.
If there is muscle pain then you apply volini gel
If pain is severe then you can also go for injection of diclofenac and trmadol
Hope this may help you
Best regards
