Brief answer....can take ibuprofen
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
It seems you are suffering from lower back muscle strain.
The best would be to take ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day for 3-5 days.
It is an OTC product and easily available every where and doesn't need medical prescription.
Avoid lifting weights for few days.
You can also do local hot FOMENTATION for relaxing the back muscles
There is no interaction between ibuprofen and concor AM.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
You can take either ibuprofen plain or even take a combination of ibuprofen with paracetamol. Both would be equally effective.
You can apply locally DICLOFENAC gel but it's role is doubtful.

Hello,
X ray won't reveal anything since it seems to be a muscle strain.
You can add some muscle relaxant to your current treatment.
Stop ibuprofen and paracetamol and start  taking Ibugesic MR twice a day and do local hot FOMENTATION twice a day.
Do it for 5 days. You should be all right soon.
Thanks
