Good advice, 3mgs. Alternating the 2 is a good option. My dentist advised me not to take Ibu and Tylenol at the same time but alternating was fine. Don't remember why...

Ummmm...I think so? How can I tell? ...just unscrew/screw it in a couple of times?
Yup, tried that Mikey. No luck. Just fiddling with it again. If no luck I'll try another coil. Thanks though!
Don't know why, either, but it stands to reason that blood levels for one would be rising as the other was falling, therefore reducing the pain for a larger percentage of the time.
Whatever I did seems to have worked. We have lift off
Yea Vaporrrrzzzzzzz!!!
Acetaminophen is OK for the pain ibuprofen is more inflammation and pain caused by inflammation.
I personally would use naproxen sodium for the pain and ibuprofen if you are experiencing any inflammation (swelling).
You can get generic naproxen at Walmart. Aleve is naproxen. They are basically over the counter versions of the prescription drug Naprosyn.
Just remember our advice is no substitute for a good healthcare professional.
Always wondered when I'd get to use those classes, lol.

Sometimes on protank coils you can twist the center pin of the coil inside the insulator when installing it. Sometimes giving the center pin on the coil, just a little, will seat it and make contact. Don't freely spin center pin though or you will twist coil leads around and short it.
Oh, and sometimes screwing coil in can compress the center pin insulator too much and slightly pulling it out some will fix it.
Thanks Ranger, wish I knew how I fixed it so I can do the same when/if the problem rears its pinhead again.
Oh well, it's working! Yeehawww!
I was actually a "Guinea Pig" for Duke Hospital/University growing up, so I actually know a lot about Medicine as-well lol

That sound quite alarming.
Naproxin and Ibuprofin are both in a drug family called nsaids. I am not a doctor or a pharmacist, but per my brother who is a dentist do NOT take both. You CAN (per him) take alternating doses of ibuprofin and Tylenol, 2 hours apart but do not take more than one nsaid drug at a time, even alternating. The reason you you can do it with Tylenol is that it is in a different drug family.
Forgot to mention though that acetaminophen and ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen can be taken together, but ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen shouldn't be taken within 6 to 8 hours of each other.
Didn't see this until after I added to mine.
That is absolutely true.
My brother is physician as well, and I had a LOT of classes via uncle Sam.
I always tell my brother that " the difference between God and a doctor is that God doesn't think he's a doctor.".

I remember the protank days and rebuilding protank heads............feeling nostalgic now, lol.
Sound Advise Ranger.
It was @juskiddin who was having the problem. I was merely cheering her success. 
I remember I would rebuild around 15-20 at a time. Good times. lolI remember the protank days and rebuilding protank heads............feeling nostalgic now, lol.
