Can Ibuprofen Be Taken For Upper Back Pain?
I just moved and spent three days in a car and packing and moving lots of boxes. I strained my upper bac between my shoulder blades. The climate in Kentucky is very different from Texas so that is adding more problems. I m taking Ibuprofen and using the heating pad. If I sit or move things, it acts up again. Should I take the above product that I take for occasional arthritis pain or take aspirin for inflammation? Please help. I

Dear patient
It seems you have sprained your upper back. Ibuprofen is safe and should be taken 400 mg thrice a day. Tab myoril 4 mg twice a day should also be taken. Local measeures such as hot water bag fomentation can be done. Avoid weight lifting and take proper rest. This will resolve in few days.
