    OfCourse you can. It

    s an Anti-inflamatory. Tylanol is not much help if it's inflamation. Advil or Aleve (naproxzin ) are  both OTC anti-inflamatory medications. Tylanol is not: just a pain reliever.

    Depending upon de severity of ur pain u should take methotrexate as advised by ur doctor and one 5mg prednsolon in de morning after breakfast and one 5 mg folic acid tab after lunch for three days after taking methotrexate. U can reduce prednsolon half tab a day or one tab every alternate day when u feel relief in ur pain. I. Am writing this from my own experience but again I will suggest that u consult ur physician.
