Just chiming in- I think I was given some med that they don't like to prescribe but this was in the hospital after I had a liver biopsy. After I woke up, it didn't hurt and they offered me the pain med so I said no, but then after another 10 minutes I said, "I'll take the pain med now". Who knew that stabbing your liver with a needle could hurt so much?

I, too, can't take NSAIDS, and Tylenol is useless for me, too. I had a migraine at the hospital once and all they gave me was Tylenol. I KNOW for a fact that there is some cocktail that they can give me to abort a migraine that doesn't have any addictive medication in it but they just wanted to go the easy route and give me stupid Tylenol.
