Naprelan (naproxen): I have suffered with right lower back pain for many years. I have taken Flexeril, Ibuprofen800, Percocet all of which dulled the pain or put me to sleep. My doctor put me on Naprelan and after two doses I am almost completely free of back pain.

Aleve (naproxen): I took 2 Aleve after spending a sleepless night with terrible shoulder pain. It starting working within 30 minutes. Within 1 hour, I could rotate my arm in all directions. Pain relief lasted a good 24 to 28 hours before the pain came back. This is a wonderful product!

Naprosyn (naproxen): I use it for long-term muscle swelling and back discomfort. It works pretty good for the most part, it doesn't fix all the pain, but it definitely makes it more tolerable.

naproxen: Absolutely better than the narcotic pain relievers at relieving the 'acute' blinding pain of a toothache. Within 30 minutes the pain is gone, for 12 hours. Awesome.

naproxen: I have been using the Naproxen 500 mg for a few months now and ever since I have been using it, it has really, really helped me out. I have scoliosis with about a 40 degree curve and developing arthritis in my spine where it curves. This really seems to help out a great deal.

naproxen: Naproxen is working fine for me, no visible side effects. I damaged my right wrist 15 years ago cutting nerves (veins and major artery). Most of my pain is through nerve damage. Naproxen relives pain, sort of takes the edge off.

naproxen: So far so good, for chronic neck pain/spasm. It's the first time I've tried it and my neck has never felt better. The only side effect has been mild heartburn but I'd rather that than not being able to move my neck.

naproxen: Fibromyalgia - slow to take effect but once the pain relief begins it is effective for me and much preferable to codeine.

naproxen: This medicine does help to a degree, but I do experience break through pain and discomfort. Especially in cold and damp weather, in injury sites from a car accident.

Aleve (naproxen): I love Aleve, but people should talk to their doctor first. I have sometimes severe pain in my toes and severe headaches from TMJ, and the Aleve significantly cuts down on my pain from both. Don't forget to talk to your doctor because risk of stomach bleeding and risk of heart attack rises with some users.

naproxen: Pain from surgery use of gas. Gas pain excruciating. Naproxen best for control of pain without side effects of narcotics.

naproxen: I have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. My oral surgeon prescribed naproxen for jaw pain and I discovered only 4 days of taking this medicine, I found great relief in my arthritis in which I have most everywhere. I hope to continue to take this medicine.
