Yes: That much tylenol (acetaminophen) everyday over time can damage your organs.

Add ibuprofen ?: The recommended limit is less than 4 grams per day. Can u take ibuprofen? This may work better for knee pain. You could alternate the 2 drugs. And have u had the knee looked at? Both tylenol (acetaminophen) and Ibuprofen have problems if used long term and are only temporary solutions for your pain. One would ask why it is that your knee is hurting?

Careful!: You should never use a medication, even over the counter, more often than the label directs. Too much tylenol (acetaminophen) can be harmful. A deeper question is why would someone so young have so much knee pain? This much pain should be looked into not just put up with.
