My stomach is killing me and it's constantly hurting.

Is tylenol safe for this type of pain?

Tylenol is safe for UC. What kind of pain are you having and what meds are you currently taking?

Although it's safe to take, it probably won't put much of a dent in severe pain (which is never normal). You should be seen by a doctor.

I second the aforementioned. Tramadol is also fine to take bit you will need a script for it.

The lower part of my stomach is just constantly hurting. I stopped taking medication 2 weeks ago because it wasn't doing anything for my flare. Will visit the doctor soon.

It is safe but won't do diddly squat for UC pain. Especially if you are inflamed and on no meds. Only the big guns like oxy and dilauded will help me and only for like thirty minutes max. You gotta get the inflammation under control no matter what.

Norcos have worked well for me. I've had several short-term scripts from urgent care clinics and emergency rooms when I was in a bad flare. Also try a heating pad on your belly or back that helps pain for me.

I have extreme stomach pain (to the point of vomiting) and I have found that 1000 mg of tylenol works great when you combine it with 50mg of tramadol.

On its own...doesn't touch the pain.

I hope you feel better. And not to nag but....call your doctor asap!
