Have you tried an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) instead of the Tylenol? Aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen are the most common over-the-counter ones.
There are many more by prescription. All would likely be more effective for arthritis, and all are most effective when taken regularly. Check with your doctor, and search the medical sites online, such as Mayo Clinic or WebMD.
