A member asked:
I have a cracked rib and i ran out of ibuprofen. would tylenol (acetaminophen) do the job for me because it's too late for me to go buy more right now?

Yes: It may not work as well but you would get some relief. Often medications like Ibuprofen slow healing of bones. Ask your doctor which medication is best for you. All the best.
