    I was taking Ibuprofen daily for my shoulder osteoarthritis that came post-surgery of my rotator cuff surgery. That was until a hospital doctor told me, when I was in the hospital for my kidneys, "Ibuprofen isn't good for the kidneys. I suggest you start taking Tylenol for your shoulder pain."

    So, that's what I take now, Tylenol 8 Hr. Arthritis and so does my wife when she needs something for pain.

    Ibuprophen is tough on the kidneys and folks over 60 aren't supposed to take NSAIDs at all. Acetaminophen is tough on the liver and doesn't reduce inflammation. I think NSAIDs like ibuprophen, naproxen, and others are probably ok for intermittent use, but might be bad if taken for long periods, especially at high dosages. Does the Tylenol reduce you shoulder pain @Cody Fousnaugh.
