Tylenol, Cramps and Liver Damage

I am 2 1/2 years post op and continue to have severe menstrual cramps. I have been sent through numerous tests and everything is okay however I still need meds for approximately 2 weeks a month to keep from being in bed. Prior to surgery I would take 600-800 mg Motrin regularly but now take 2 Tylenol every 4-6 hours. This is where my concerns start. My father has some liver damage and has been told never to take Tylenol due to how harsh it is on his liver. With me taking so much Tylenol I am worried I am injuring my liver now. I don't want to hurt my pouch so have stayed away from NSAIDS but am now really worried about my liver. It seems there is nothing safe to take anymore. I have researched here on obesityhelp but many of the old threads are from 2-3 years ago and I know meds have changed tremendously in that time. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try taking?
