I have tendinitis pretty bad in my shoulder and was doing physical therapy and taking the muscle relaxant Skelaxin before surgery.Since surgery my dr. won't let me take a muscle relaxer and I'm not working and without insurance physical therapy is outrageous. I know we can't take Nsaids, I was told I could take tylenol. The extra strenghth tylenol has 500mg per pill the tylenol arthritis has 650mg per pill. Is this too strong for us. Anybody have experience with this? Does it work. I know after surgery they put alot of us on high dose loratab for pain which is basically a glorified tylenol. Any ideas?

Amy,

I use the Tylenol Arthritis caplets on a routine basis. I also use Tylentol PM. Dr. Stahl advised me to use these. I know that everyday is probably too often so I do try to only use them when I absolutely have to. My husband uses the same thing on the advise of his doctor.
