I am already on daily aspirin for cardiac conditions and on blood thinners so I can not take any "additional" aspirin. I only use Tylenol very sparingly due to its adverse effects on the liver. Prescription pain medication makes me so sick that I would rather have pain. When I broke 5 ribs, the doctor gave me a prescription for pain mediction. I told him to either keep it or give me something for the extreme nausea the pain med would cause me. He gave me a second prescription to take with the pain med. I could only take these medications for a very short period of time without other complications. It got me through the first 72 hours of 5 broken ribs. My docs don't allow me to take supplements because what would help with one condition would harm another so I am pretty limited. I take 14 meds daily. I feel like a chemistry lab.

Mrs. D has a whole bunch of info on supplements that may be useful to you. I am not versed in supplements at all.

I would still recommend clearance from your doctor before taking any supplements. There is always the possibility there might be some contraindication for them in your particular case.
