Oh no, poor Gabby! Unfortunately, there are no human pain relievers you can give her. Many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I recommend resting Gabby for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to toilet on a lead only, and bring her right back in when she's done. If she still appears painful after this time, then I would take her into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it.
