I've been prescribed ibuprofen for migraine and headaches, but find I get a sore back after taking it. This has recently flared up so significantly that my Dr sent me to Emergency Dept thinking I had could have a clot in my lungs. This was ruled out by Emergency Drs but I'm left with super painful left side of my back. Hard to lie down, bend down, do stuff in general and super exhausting.

Last night I took ibuprofen for it to try to have a better sleep and it is now significantly worse.

I’d recommend stopping the Ibuprofen and begin a program of chiropractic and the LRA Elisa/ACT Biotechnology Blood Test
