Has anyone here experience any pain that was alleviated by Tylenol anyway? Because it never helped me in my entire life despite parents and doctors telling me to take it.
T3's certain fuck up your brain enough to "alleviate" some of the pain, I took 'em after they put my face back together in surgery, I remember dissociating so hard on them that I noted that the pain was "fascinating", like seeing a weird beetle or something.
Regularly tylenol... less so. The actually working stuff they hide behind the counter with perscription needs.
It helps with the sore throat and body aches I get during a flu, but that has less to do with Tylenol itself and more that it's one of several active ingredients in Robitussin CF.
It brings me down one notch. Maybe half a notch. If I'm at a 6 it'll bring me down to a 5. It's barely perceptible, but I'm one of those lucky fellas whose stomach attempts to kill itself at the slightest provocation so NSAIDs are completely off the table, leaving me with something that's slightly more effective than simply pretending I'm not in pain.
I'm the poster child for someone who really does need opiates semi frequently (couple times a year) but can't get them at all any more thanks to junkies and pill mills ruining it.

City doctors look at you with the uttermost disgust when you tell them tylenol / NSAIDs don't work or make you sick.
Main reasons : too many junkies, decades of ''experts'' blaming recreational fentanyl ODs on prescription painkillers, the government setting regional prescription reduction targets based on ( 90%+ unrelated chinese fentanyl ) opioids overdoses problem in the region.
When your pain level and medication intolerances call for painkillers, you become a problem between them, and their financial bonus for prescription reductions.
They kept removing opioids as authorised treatment for more and more health problems the higher ODs from recreational fentanyl kept rising. This kept escalating untill they were left to discussing banning opioids for the treatment of cancer pain in children, then enough doctors had a ''isn't that starting to sound nonsensical and fucking evil?'' moment and things relaxed ( but it highly depends on the personal opinion of the doctor ).
Nah it's pissing in the ocean for me, no noticeable effect. Aspirin does the job, codeine does the job, but paracetamol and ibuprofen don't do shit for me.
I do think that acetaminophen does have some analgesic effect for many conditions, but the literature suggests that it generally isn't as effective as NSAIDs.
The tradeoff is that both the short&long-term safety profile for NSAIDs is a lot worse , so Tylenol was considered much more benign within safe dosing limits.
The literature suggests for example that acetaminophen has next-to-no relief effect for back pain. But it's recommended anyway by guidelines because it's mostly harmless & all the next options are way worse.

Normally I take ibuprofen for just pain.
Ibuprofen helps more with swelling I think, especially headaches.
