Aleve and Tylenol

Aleve and Tylenol

I have been taking either Aleve (2 every 12 hours) or Tylenol (1250mil every 8 hours) for my pain, but either one wears off before I can take another dose.  The pain is so bad, it's hard to wait for the next dose.  How much of each of these can I safely take and can I mix them--ay take Aleve and then take Tylenol after 6-8 hours and then Aleve after say 6 hours?  
Thanks so much
