Ice, heat, stretch: You can apply local ice, 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, to keep from burning the skin with cold. Ice tends to last longer than heat. Watch for burning with heat if you do use it. Finally gentle stretching may help too. If nothing works ask doctor for trial of muscle relaxant.

Accepted Answer

Probably: Because Ibuprofen is metabolized through the kidney it is good to be cautious with this medication.  The important thing to know is that the 1 kidney is functioning well.
