A member asked:

I ever take advil, but have a pulled muscle on my side. now, im bloated and have some stomach pain. could it be the advil?

Most likely the advil did attribute to you stomach pain. It is recommended to take advil with food to avoid the complication of stomach ulcers.

Certainly Advil, like all NSAIDs, can cause stomach irritation and discomfort. You can try adding some ant acids such as Mylanta or Tums to see if it helps. You may try Tylenol instead for your pulled muscle. If you have persistent stomach pain, see your primary doctor. Good luck.
