Hi Scouser 2
I agree medical help should be sought if pain persists, but to try self help initially can be useful (and cheaper). If after say 3-4 days the problem has not eased or resolved or even become worse then yes seek medical help, sometimes problems need say an x-ray/physio etc.
Agree with Scunner about the pharmacist in Fethiye he is very helpful, and could also give advice regarding medication, titration and correct dosage. I still beleive 1 gram paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen combined is an excellent pain reliever short term (about 1 week)
Hope your wife soon feels better
