Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to a muscular issue. I suggest continuing using Ibuprofen to relieve the pain every six hours. I also suggest using a gastro protector such as Omeprazole daily. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
