If you don't want to go to your GP then err on caution.
Go to a pharmacy, ask for the stronger stuff (400mg or whatever they have) and take three times a day. Ibuprofen is marginally less hazardous than Paracetamol over extended periods but try to stick to lower doses unless symptoms persist.
What muscles? Is there physio to aid recovery?
Remember that it'll take a few days or a week to really notice the difference, but if it persists then you need a specialist not the forum experts.

cheers, 400mg three times per day sounds a little more reasonable.
It's for my knee - I've been to the physio already (and have another appmnt this week) and i'm doing stretches, foam rolling and glute exercises, as well as nightly massages from wife but have been told that an NSAID (such as ibuprofen) will be helpful too.

Taking ibuprofen to rid myself of muscle inflammation. Internet tells me 800mg, three times a day for that.
That seems super high to me. Any one know different?
