    Paracetamol for me is better for headache and ibuprofen is better for muscular pain.

      Low doses of ibuprofen are better as an anti-inflammatory, and higher doses are better for pain relief, from what I’ve learned online (I’m not a doctor).
      I imagine the muscle pain you were dealing with was due to inflammation from overexertion or something?
