Hello ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles!

Given your situation, Tylenol remains the safest treatment. I would also be inclined to suggest a physiotherapy consultation as this can help relieve pain and even prevent it. Most group insurance plans cover this type of service.

I will remain available if you have any further questions!

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
