I work at a place where a 95 year old woman, who is incredible healthy for her age gave me an over the counter regime for pain and swelling.
She's been doing this for over 10 years with no problems. She takes 400 mg of Ibuprofen 2 times a day with 650 mg of Tylenol 2 times a day. Her doctor gave her this "formula" and it takes care of her pain and swelling from arthritis!
