what is the best tablet for muscle pain - #26345

Harsh

I am dealing with some really annoying muscle pain that just won’t go away. I mean, it started out after a workout last month, just kinda a usual soreness, but then it got worse. I’ve tried stretching and even cooling down properly, but now I find myself awake at night from the throbbing, especially in my lower back and legs. I went to the doc, and they suggested I try some over-the-counter pain relief, but didn’t say much more. So, I'm here wondering, honestly, what is the best tablet for muscle pain? A friend mentioned something about ibuprofen, but I’ve heard mixed things about using it long term. I've also seen people raving about naproxen—does that really work better? My concern is all those ads about side effects, ya know? I’m trying to really understand what is the best tablet for muscle pain without messing up my stomach or liver. Anyone had experiences with different pills? Like is there a difference between the generic stuff and name brands? Would love some advice before I head back to the pharmacy. I'm just really lost on what is the best tablet for muscle pain that won't leave me feeling worse.
