Alleve is the best pain killer of all the “over the counter” ones, in my experience.

But it can cause ulcers. I take it for arthritis when I’m hurting, but can’t take it every day because it makes my stomach hurt.

If you have to take it, take it with Prilosec, and that lowers the problem, but doesn’t eliminate it.

As for tylenol: if it works, it’s the best but doesn’t work for me.

Thanks for that info. The ulcer factor never occurred to me.

I avoid taking pain relievers unless absolutely necessary. The Aleve in my experience often works to mitigate migraine symptoms (or at least I ‘believe’ it does).
