Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain and all the disturbing thoughts this must have caused you. The pain is very non specific that making a call at this time would be very inaccurate. I will suggest you monitor this pain and report on issues like duration, what provokes it, What relieves it, relationship to food intake, intensity, etc. Also, did Ibuprofen offer some relief or it aggravated the pain? With this, I would be able to narrow down the list of possibilities and provide a personalized and helpful suggestions as opposed to a generic response that would not be of any help to you. I hope to hear from you on this so that we can continue with the process of addressing this.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications. Thanks for trusting using with your health questions today!
