My ankles have been destroyed by years of hard labor and congenital flat-footedness. They usually aren't so bad in the warmer months, but in the winter the pain comes close to being unbearable at times.

The worst park is that walking is one of my favorite things to do, and the pain frequently detracts from the joyous tranquility I get from exploring and taking pictures of interesting bits of trash and broken windows.

Yes, be careful with Tylenol - but this is two per six hours which is the adult dose. I think the key is timing. You can just do the Ibuprofen and spread the dose out as well. I would avoid Tylenol if I had any liver concern, though.

Basically, any OTC pain reliever would work better IMO if you time the doses to keep a steady amount in your system. A person can mix Tylenol and Ibuprofen. I doubt mixing any of the other OTC analgesics would be as wise (aspirin + ibuprofen would be hard on the stomach, for example).

Personally, I prefer aspirin now - but if I'm having a lot of pain I use Tylenol + Ibuprofen on the basis of what my doctor said.

Here's a funny thing I read about aspirin that works. Dissolve aspirin in a glass of water and then drink the solution to avoid having an aspirin tablet burning a hole in your innards. Sounds disgusting - it's actually quite tolerable. One aspirin stirred up in a glass of water is a piece of cake to drink down.
