Tylenol
You have to be careful, because, Tylenol can mask fever symptoms and guess what??? Darvocet has Tylenol in it. So, that should not be a choice for an MDS patient... seems something else can be found. My husband was prescribed Oxycodone 5mg for mild pain. When he had really bad pain, they went to a much stronger pain killer called Dialadid, but, that was when his paid very so very intolerable and he was transitioning from MDS to AML.
I've heard of Tramadol. It's non-narcotic, but, is a pain blocker. Good luck!
