Tylenol Precise Pain Relieving Cream
Does anyone know if this is safe for us? I know it is topical, but I was told we can't use topical NSAIDs, and I don't really know what to make of this product.
From their website:
The active ingredients in PRECISE™ Extra Strength Pain Relieving Cream, menthol and methyl salicylate, provide topical pain relief.

sounds fine. tylenol in any form is generally safe for us, and anything topical won't reach our pouches.

To my knowledge, the stuff that makes tylenol different from an NSAID would not work if topically applied. So, I'm guessing that this new product is made up of medication that has properties that work like an NSAID would and you wouldn't want to use it unless you are 100% sure that it is not.
May God bless us in all of our endeavors. May He forgive us for our frailties and our vanities and bless us to be prosperous in health, soul, and in life. 
I believe that the salicylate is a form of asprin. My surgeon frowns on asprin as much as NSAIDS so I would say avoid it until you ask yours. I plan on asking mine next week when I see her. Had seen this and thought about it but new the salicylate was a negative orally. Not sure about the topical. NSAIDs topical are out I know, they still hit your system with all the same negative for our bellies side effects.
