HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If there is any swelling or discomfort in the calf area, you should rule out a dvt.

If this is not likely or has been ruled out and the nurofen is not working for you , you can try another member of this drug family eg naproxen or diclofenac to see if one of these helps with your pain.

I hope this helps
