naproxen: I have taken l x Aleve 500 every morning for about 2 years and have found it is the only medication that completely relieves my pain. My only concern is the side effects and I don't know how long I can stay on this medication. As of yet I far as I know I have not had any side effect. I am 84 years of age.

naproxen: This is at present a God-send. I tore my shoulder muscles at work, nothing removed that "sickening" inside pain, you know the one where it makes you irritable with loved ones. This has dulled the pain after an hour. I'm actually smiling and can concentrate again. Hope this helps more out there.

naproxen: I use this for lower back and hip pain. It works very well on the sciatic pain I get from injury to my back and hip. the only other drug that helps is at least 800mg of motrin. Naproxen works for about 7 hours while motrin only lasts 3-4 hours. I think these basically relieve swelling pressure on the nerve column.

naproxen: I used Naproxen when I tore a tendon in my knee and the swelling would not go down. Naproxen works. It takes some time but you have to be on a regular dose and once you stop taking it, it goes back to the way it was before (at least in my case it did).
