    🔫🔫 Put the Tylenol down! 🔫🔫

    (Seriously, though, it’s so bad for your liver and isn’t even better than placebo. There are usually better pain meds out there.)

      That was a study specifically on lower back pain. It [paracetamol/acetaminophen] is moderately effective for other things like tension headaches. Also the liver effects are not serious if you follow the guidelines for dose and avoid regular use.

        Paracetamol does nothing for me, but I take it when doctors give it to me because it makes them happy. Unlucky biology or something, almost no pain relief ever works for me. Fentanyl was pretty good though when I had surgery
