Get md, may be ulcer: I found that correct diagnosis is key to successful treatment . Unless your pain is in muscles Ibuprofen could be detrimental to you. You could have gastritis, and inflammation , which is worsened by ibuprofen; a lot of people are taking nsaids, medication similar to ibuprofen, these meds could cause ulcers, inc. Blood pressure, trigger asthma, block plavix, (clopidogrel) and aspirin!they end with heart attk.
