Is Tylenol Advisable For Bulging Disc For Lumber Spine?

I recently found out I have stomach and duodenal ulcers from taking Aleve 2 times a time.I haven t had a follow up with my doctor yet after my procedure...I need something for pain that is also an anti inflammatory for bulging disks of lower back, sciatica and arthritis. Would Tylenol be the right OTC drug for me..I was prescribed Tramadol but it doesn t really help. Thank you

Hello
Thank you for using healthcaremagic
I read your question and understood your concern
Tylenol is not antiinflamatory drug but just pain killer.
It is less stronger than Tramadol.
anyway, inyour case since you can not take other nonsteroidal antiinflamatory drugs, I woukd try with Tylenol 1000mg 3 times a day and if you have stomach problems you can accompany Tylenol with Omeprazol ( stomach protector)
Also some physiotherapy and muscle relaxant might help you.
I wish you quick recovery
