I need OTC pain relief once or twice a week and I would like to know what to take.

I stopped taking NSAIDs (ibuprofen and Aleve) a year ago because I'd read they are bad for leaky gut.

I switched to Tylenol, thinking I was doing the right thing, but I've read on here that even a little bit can stress/damage the liver.

I would not say this is the best but it does take the edge off my aches and pains.

I use Arnica Montana 30X and take about 3 or 4 under the tongue. I get it from pureformulas.com. You can get it as a cream also.

All the Best, MattH

Thanks for all your replies. I would have responded sooner, but I've had trouble connecting to Lymenet the last few days.

Are any of these things "fast acting", or do I need to take them continually?

I feel like my pain is pretty well managed with daily Plaquenil and magnesium, but I'm looking for something to take "as needed" when I over-do it.

I think curcumin works better if taken at least twice a day. It's an anti-inflammatory.
