As everyone knows opioides are notorious for constipation. Especially at 94 it is a concern.
I would worry less about addiction potential (except for the relative). Which makes the CBD oil even more attractive as a possible alternative.
I think it is irresponsible of a doctor to say Tylenol at high doses that may be ruining your liver is okay at 94 or any age.
I don’t know what strength pill she is taking however (just that she takes 3).
The maximum dose she should take is probably somewhere below 3 gm (3000mg) per day. The ibuprofen and tylenol taken together have a synergistic effect and works better than either alone.
