Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that ibuprofen can help improve his situation. But, if the pain persists or if the arm is cold or swollen, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and a Doppler ultrasound of the arm vessels.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
