Acetaminophen is as effective as NSAIDs for the management of mild-to-moderate pain.
Propoxyphene, widely believed to be safe and effective, may, in fact, be no more effective-and perhaps less effective-than acetaminophen or ibuprofen. A relatively new analgesic, tramadol, appears to be a useful therapy for patients who do not receive adequate pain relief with acetaminophen and are at risk for NSAID-related side effects.

Tylenol is a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory).
Tylenol is not designed to be effective for "muscle" pain. It works much better on "bone pain"
Different nerve fibers. (Don't believe the commercials)
Advil (ibuprofen) works best with any muscle pain because it is a prostaglandin inhibitor. Prostaglandins are the hormone that is produced by the muscle that the brain recognizes as pain. To feel less of this pain, you need the muscle to produce less of this hormone.
(this is a simplistic answer)
