Believe it or not, Ibuprofen 800mg three times daily around the clock should help. You'll likely be in some discomfort for a few days. Don't forget that the power of the mind/meditation can significantly reduce your pain as your body has an endogenous opiate system to control pain.

Hope this helps!
