found these articles but i'd try vitamin d/omega3 since free of sides and acitve on the cause while ibuprofen is active on synthoms
it depends on your liver damage, almost any drug makes liver damage but if you start with no liver damage you have nothing to worry, if you already have some it is better to avoid it.
i had pain problems as well and it was due to vitamin d deficency which is low on about 90% hbv carriers, when i reached 30-40ng/ml in the blood pains disappered, i also had cold and flu all the time, i haven t had any flu since then
check if your vitamin d is lower than 50-60ng/ml and if so try vitamin D supplements to increase it and omega3 from fish oil
5mg daily of omega3 fish oil has the same potency as antiinflammation like ibuprofen
