What Is The Difference Between Ibuprofen, Tylenol And Naproxen?

My left hip, thigh and knee have extreme sharp pain. XRays showed structure of L hip is good. Sharp (cramp) on L hip, front thigh and knee come frequently for over a week. I went to emergency and found swallen knee cap. I got a pain killer injection and was told to take ibuprofen. I am wandering what is the different between ibuprofen and Tylenol and Naproxen. I have both the latter but not ibuprofen.
