Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is not an NSAID (not steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and adds to the analgesic effect of the hydrocodone as simply another pain med. All opiates work on the same receptor in the brain and there are tables that compare dose equivalencies and Morphine is certainly stronger than hydrocodone but you may not have been given a big enough dose for the pain you were having at the time. At another time it will almost certainly work for you.
