Tylenol vs Motrin

When I was first diagnosed, I was told, no tylenol.
Then with tx, I was told to take tylenol before each shot
to help alleviate the sx.
So with simple, yet horrible headaches, would you recommend
tylenol or motrin? Doc says Tylenol but no more than 4 pills
a day. (500mg tabs)
I am going to get some herbal rice bags, and sunglasses for
work, but in the middle of the night...what should I take?
And why do the drs say different things about the pain relievers for me to take??

Kinda scary having things starting to be normal. But not to worry people like us can only be so normal. You will always be goofy
