- burntrelish1273 9y agoWithin the past month, I had 9/10 pain after pulling or tearing something in my back. Went to the ER/urgent care because I couldn't function. This is what they gave me (ibuprofen + acetaminophen). It worked so-so. Opioids should be used less than antibiotics, which also should be rationed. PS: UPI is owned by the Moonies. EDIT: There's already a rebuttal editorial from ACSH (a pro-industry trade association) https://www.acsh.org/printpdf/12089 https://www.acsh.org/printpdf/12089 I'm sure they're going to say Fentanyl is the best thing ever.
- foxyv 9y agoMotrin and Tylenol together are great for pain due to inflammation and fever. I highly doubt they are as effective as opioids for ALL forms of pain. Luckily opioids can often be used in conjunction with Tylenol. Hence Vicodin.
