Allen1955I am a healthy 59 year old male. I have pain in my shoulders that wake me up three or four times nightly. I have found Advil PM helps me stay sleeping the night through. I use it 2 or 3 times a week. I would use it every night, but I am concerned about the unknown health risks? Thank You.

There is not alot of health risk involved, i know some people who do take it everynight to help them sleep,it is better than taking tylenol because acetaminophen is bad for your liver,so you could ask your family doc,just give them a call,i dont see a problem with it,i take it around 4 or 5 times a week to help me sleep and keep my back from hurting,so good luck,hope this helps
