I went to my dr for pain in the back of my calf.iwas told to see a pt but i cant til february.what can i do for pain besides ibuprofen, it doesnt help?

Add acetaminophen: I would add some acetaminophen to the ibuprofen. They are safe to take together and act in different ways, so people tend to get better relieved taking both together.
