Wow. Either Tylenol or Ibuprofen actually work. Not sure which, but one of the above very much does relieve pain very much quicker and more effectively than I recalled. I woke up with bad neck pain a couple nights ago, and it's stuck around ever since with a headache to keep it company. I'd spent a few hours off and on in the shower under hot water that failed to help in any real way for a day and a half. I *finally* walked to the grocery store and got a bottle each of Ibuprofen and Tylenol, took one of each and noted the time... I figured if I didn't notice anything improving in the next half hour, I'd climb back into the shower. 15 minutes later, feeling noticeable less pain and by 20 minutes no neck pain (or headache) left at all... Huh. That's actually pretty darn amazing.
