Advil side effects

Two days ago, I took 200 mg of advil for a headache. Soon after taking it, I developed a pain in my left knee which has persisted. After doing some research, I saw that joint pain is a possible side effect of advil. I've taken advil for pain on occasion for several years and never experienced any side effects until now.

Has anyone else experienced side effects from advil?

Hi, because it is list as a possible side effect, doesn't necessarily mean that the knee pain is related, ibruffen is generally safe. If you are concerned have a chat with your GP or pharmacist.
