Loading the kids in the car this morning and suddenly felt a horrible pain around my right side ribs all the way to the middle of my back. The pain was so intense I couldn't breathe. Managed to stagger back in the house and call a friend to drop kids off. I've taken 2 paracetamol and can now walk around but I still feel the pain there.

I'm self employed and cannot afford to take time off work. I need to get back in tomorrow so what can I take that will get me through? I work a physical job but will obviously take extra care until I'm healed.

Ibuprofen is better for muscle pain as it's an Anti inflammatory
You can take it with paracetamol
400mg(2 tablets) x 3 daily
Also heat will help relax the muscles
I hope it's better soon
