  4. I have been experiencing intense knee and ankle pain. My knee is much worse than my ankle and is almost always in pain, whereas my ankle only hurts in random spurts when I run or dance. It started about 8 weeks ago when I started running and dancing again but I am only doing about a mile a day. I gave it a week off from running and dance but it only got worse. The pain is in the back, right side only and shoots from the knee to my ankle. It hurts when bent or straight, and any pressure on my knee makes it worse. There is no noticeable swelling or bruising. It gradually started, I never popped it, fell on it or twisted it. Will this go away eventually or is something else wrong?

I pulled my back lifting some luggage this morning. I iced it and it feels better but still hurts. Which pain killer is best for me?

Of the three over the counter NSAIDs (acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen), ibuprofen has the best antiinflammatory properties. Ibuprofen is sold as generic or brand name Motrin or Advil. It not only decreases pain but it is superior to aspirin and tylenol in decreasing swelling as well. Therefore, for muscle injuries, ibuprofen would be the better choice (provided you don’t have any contraindications such as allergies to the drug, gastric ulcers, heart disease, etc.)
