Dr was not happy that I’ve been taking around 9,000mg of Tylenol per day (apparently you can OD on 5,000) but I wouldn’t have to do that if anyone would give me any kind of pain medication!!!! Ugh

I’ve been in severe pain and heavy heavy doses of Tylenol is the only thing helping and I keep getting told I’m ’too young’ to be put on pain meds (I’m 21 and they’ve been telling me this for years and I have no history of addiction)

One dr finally did something about it tho once they realized I had bursitis in all my joints. They prescribed me celecoxib which worked so much better. When every dr before just said to take less Tylenol and had no good response when I asked if there was something else I could be doing or taking that would work better

There are prescription strength NSAIDS that are not addictive. I’m sorry that they aren’t treating your pain like they should be. Have you tried dual action Tylenol/advil (acetaminophen/ibuprofen), it’s worked slightly better than Tylenol for me
