My doctor usually prescribes ibuprofen for joint pain; he suggested that I try extra strength Tylenol because it might do a better job of relieving joint pain.
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is an effective pain reliever and fever reducer but does not possess ibuprofen's anti-inflammatory effects. Tylenol is used for mild to moderate pain like headaches and fever control. Tylenol is less effective than ibuprofen in relieving joint or swelling-related pain.

OK, big problem: Never, ever, ever take Advil and Tylenol together! Ever! Tylenol is Acetaminophen, it's a blood thinner. Advil is Ibuprofen, it's an anti-inflammatory that will also irritate your stomach lining. So between the two, you'll end up with a bleeding ulcer. I think the standard recommendation is to separate them by at least twelve hours, though I just stick to one. So unless you're TRYING to mess Hayley up even worse than she already is (bruised, battered, hung over), PLEASE stick to one or the other.
PS: Yes, this is a pet peeve. Yes, I've personally had a problem with both drugs. Google it if you don't believe me.
