Back pain: Top choices for back pain would be Ibuprofen or Naprosyn along with acetaminophen. People respond differently to medications even if they are cousins. Many people choose the Naprosy, because it is longer acting. Remember tylenol can be take with it as adjunct. Also, do not forget the benefit of thermal therapy and do not forget to continue to stretch and keeping as active as possible.
