Within the past month, I had 9/10 pain after pulling or tearing something in my back. Went to the ER/urgent care because I couldn't function. This is what they gave me (ibuprofen + acetaminophen). It worked so-so. Opioids should be used less than antibiotics, which also should be rationed.

Motrin and Tylenol together are great for pain due to inflammation and fever. I highly doubt they are as effective as opioids for ALL forms of pain. Luckily opioids can often be used in conjunction with Tylenol. Hence Vicodin.
