Vicki,

I worry about the amount of tylenol you state you take because it is

very toxic to your liver as another writer said. I would try to stay

away from the tylenol and with the pinched nerve it is going to take a

nerve type medication to assist . Ultracet has tylenol with it and you

take tylenol with it you are taking a very toxic dose.

It comes down to taking the right medication with the least side

effects to get the maxium effect for pain. It takes time. A dose pack

of solu-medrol was what helped me with the inflammatory process with my

impinged nerve. I had to go through three months of severe pain to get

that.

Good luck getting the right dose for pain relief. Bennie
