A member asked:
Why does my neck pain and stiffness/tightness ( possible torticollis / uneven scm ) feel worse after taking ibuprofen for a day or so for jaw tension?

Likely unrelated: It would be highly unlikely that Ibuprofen would cause pain as it is used to treat pain. These problems are likely unrelated.
