Pulled muscle under ribs

[lidlicker]

I pulled my muscle, doing exercise and it hurts like hell, especially when I am in bed. I am using Ibuprofen gel and tablets, but can anyone tell me how long this pain will last? It happened a week ago. Many thanks.

It took mine a month before the pain went more or less completely but you'll notice that towards the end it's just when you lie on it that it hurts. It is painful but at least you know woth time the pain goes. I've had this happen twice so think once you've done it you can be prone to pull it again.

Thanks for your reply. Now I know how long it will take ! I will have to be more careful if, as you say, it could easily happen again.

Are you using the gel and the tablets at the same time? If so you may need to be careful you don't accidentally overdose.

It will take some time and i agree with coccinelle....weeks.

You can't overdose with Ibuprofen.
