User Reviews for Naproxen

Aleve (naproxen): Best medicine I ever took for back pain.

Aleve (naproxen): I took 2 for lower back pain, definitely muscle and it didn't really help.

Aleve (naproxen): Aleve worked very well for my neck and back pain but I had side effects... shortness of breath, feeling faint, and my tongue started to swell. I stopped the medicine and was okay the next day.

naproxen: This website is very useful

Aleve (naproxen): Works well for back, shoulder and knee pain

Naprelan (naproxen): I went to see the doctor after 2 days of heat and inactivity did not help my back. After examining me and taking X-rays he prescribed the Naprelan 500mg time release for me. He also went as far as to warn me that even though I would feel better it was not healed and I needed to take it easy. I am so glad he did because after 2 days I felt almost back to normal even though the back condition was such that I am be referred to physical therapy for it. Long story short, this medicine works, just be careful.

naproxen: Makes me feel very unwell.

Aleve (naproxen): I love Aleve! It makes all my lower back pain disappear, I feel like a new person.

naproxen: Good job Naproxen. My back pain is gone.

naproxen: Did not help my back pain at all. A week after starting the medication I had ONE glass of wine at about 8pm. Less then an hour later I passed out and did not wake up until 2pm the next day. I missed work and apparently my family was trying to wake me up but I seemed to be sleep walking and have no recollection of what I was saying.

naproxen: I have metal rods on my spine, my lower back gets a burning. I take naproxen it takes it out in about 1 hour.

naproxen: I strained my back while lifting. The pain was very bad, I couldn't walk or get out of bed. Took naproxen and within hour I could walk and move again. But I wouldn't say the pain was completely gone. There was still soreness but this medicine made the pain at least bearable.

Aleve (naproxen): Good.

Aleve (naproxen): Doesn't help my back pain.

naproxen: (Male, 42yrs, 220lbs, active/athletic). I take 375mg once in the morning for the relief of occasional (4-5 times a year) severe back muscle pain. While it unfortunately takes 2-4 hours for me to feel the effects, when it has been absorbed it gives me 90-100% relief and the benefits last for roughly 48 hours. This is by far the best pain reliever I have ever used. As for adverse side effects, luckily I can't seem to detect any.

Aleve (naproxen): Really good at back pain relief, but after extended use [ I have 2 ruptured discs] my skin started to tear easily, but I was in my 30's at the time. So I don't use for long periods but occasional usage is fine.

Naprelan (naproxen): After severe lumbar pain caused by lugging a 5-gallon bucket full of dirt about 100 yards, I tried over-the-counter Doan's tablets and got no relief. Then, my physician gave me 4 Naprelan which I took one a day. In only six days total, my lumbar pain had vanished.

Anaprox (naproxen): Great for day to day pain, but lacking if you do lots of heavy lifting in a day.

naproxen: These work well if you rest. Took 2 on the first day and was starting to think they were useless, took 2 the next day and by 11pm I felt so much better, had no pain and slept like a brick. The trick is to keep taking these for at least 2 days, by then you should feel better. Note to others who get given these, make sure you get given Lansoprazole as well as these protect your stomach.

Aleve (naproxen): Two Aleve a day helped my back pain, but over time it affected my stomach. My gastroenterologist knew immediately what my problem was and I've stopped Aleve entirely. I had almost a year of constant nausea and pain until I quit taking Aleve.
