Default Does using tylenol mask headache so he can't recognize fatigue?
Great to meet all of you. I am helping my brother who is 6 months into his recovery from a car accident.
A question he keeps asking but no doctors seem to have a good answer is, "If he takes tylenol to reduce his headache, will that mask his symptoms, which will then allow him to overdo it since his head won't hurt?"
The doctors really want his pain controlled but the only way my brother seems to know it is time to rest is when his head hurts. Any suggestions or answers?
