Hello,
You need to understand that the stronger painkillers are always going to be harsh on your stomach.
Now, for joint pain over the counter drugs are for pain and inflammations such as NSAIDS like Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Piroxicam etc.
As Ibuprofen(Advil) was effective, you can take an antacid such as omeprazole along with. Physiotherapy is always going to help with your joint pain. Please consult your doctor if your symptoms persist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
