Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Ibuprofen does not causes muscle twitching or muscle spasm. So don't worry about that. Yoi should take some muscle relaxant like tizanidine along with ibuprofen. It will help you in your symptoms. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
