Hello,
I have studied your case. IBuprofen or any other pain killer causes sodium retention and increase water content of the body leading to weight gain. So I would recommend you following.
1.Rather than Ibuprofen you should take either Ultracet or paracetamol or Etoricoxib daily.
2.Hot water fomentation and volitran ointment is helpful.
3.Avoid squatting, sitting cross leg and stair case climbing.
I ope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
