Advil liquid gels as well, and I only use them for menstrual cramps.
What is your "go to" pain reliever?

Ibuprofen 4ever. I get cramps that wake me up at 4 in the morning, and taking preventative ibuprofen usually keeps the pain away.

I don't like taking medication. If it's a headache, I'll drink a lot of water and relax. If it's body pain, I'll try some yoga and stretching, rest, a warm bath, or a massage.

Tylenol or ibuprofen.

I avoid medication if at all possible. I find regular exercise increases my pain threshold. Regular stretching and semi-regular visits to the chiropractor take care of the rest. In case of emergency, I take aspirin, or if it's dire, I'll take ibuprofen. But not too often because it can damage kidneys and liver and I need those!

Midol for everything. Nothing else works for me...

Aleve 2x daily for arthritis. Nothing else works. Advil is fine for normal headaches.

ibuprofen for me

Ibuprofen works best for me. After that, Aleve (I forget what it is, acetaminophen I think?), then Goodies powders. I forget what Tylenol is, but it doesn't seem to do much for me, for whatever reason.

Aleve is Naproxen Sodium, closely related to ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) and is considered a "Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory" like aspirin. Tylenol is acetaminophen, and works differently and is not anti-inflammatory, which is why it doesn't work as well for things like cramps or headaches that have a cause of inflammation.

Naproxen is stronger than ibuprofen, but has more side effects like GI disturbance or drowsiness.

I take Naproxen for menstrual cramps, and use prescription meds for migraines and Fibromyalgia pain. Occasionally, I will use Motrin for muscle pain, if it isn't severe enough for prescription medication. I wish I were one fortunate enough to be able to proudly say, "I don't believe in using pharmaceuticals." Many of us really don't have a choice. It's that or intolerable or intractable pain.
