the
ibuprofen did not work. If it was going to do anything you would of noticed a reaction within a couple hours. Your problem sounds alot more serious than to be prescribed ibuprofen. Now although ibuprofen is a anti inflammatory I think ibuprofen main function is to reduced the pain caused by swelling im not sure if it will have a greater effect reducing the actual swellling itself. I reckon you need a stronger anti inflammatory unfortunatly im am not an expert so i wouldnt know what to recommend.
It is better to be happy with what you have than to be always whanting somthing else
