if you are still taking ibuprofen or similar stuff, you should consider taking a "protection for the stomach". something like pantoprazol.
btw. i heard that ibuprofen is not so good for joint pain. i prefer diclophenac. check whether you are prone to allergies. of course, you can not mix those groups of medication. also dicophenac should be used with pantoprazol if taken for multiple days.
regarding diagnosis. an ortho-doc can do some clinical tests. usually the sensitivity and specificity is quite fine. however, MRI is the gold standard. (Ultrasound could also be used for diagnosis, but it depends strongly on the doc's skill)
hope you are fine by now.
