For those of us who can't take NSAIDS, Tylenol has a long acting one out now called Tylenol Arthritis (in Canada anyway)
They are caplets that have a yellow side and a white side and they last 8 hours instead of the 4 for regular tylenol.
The dose is 2 tabs every 8 hours. It gives you 650 mg just like 2 regular tylenol, but it lasts longer.
I also find if I wash my dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher, the regular warm water therapy really helps.
