"I suffer from gout in my feet periodically because I do not take preventative medicines. My last bout, I tried Tylenol extra strength first and got no relief. I switched to Aleve gel caps and immediately felt the pain decrease. I am a believer and also an Aleve user, thanks a lot."

"I don't even go to the foot doctor to refill my gout medicine anymore. Those little green pills are effective but make me feel terrible. Aleve is a tremendously effective medicine for my big toe gout, and I DON'T have any side effects from it."

"Really worked for me. I had significant pain and inflammation of my big toe. Symptoms were getting worse until I took Aleve. Almost immediate (1/2 hr) relief from pain and within one day of use, the pain was gone, and by the 2nd day, the swelling was reduced."

"Well, I went to the ER, they diagnosed me with gout. They gave me a prescription that was $45 for 20 pills! The pharmacist told me about Aleve. I bought it for $7.99 for 100 pills. Best choice ever, no regrets."

"Slight pain reduction. But really not worth noting. It's the Colcrys that really nips it in the bud when I feel an attack coming on. I've tried the Aleve a couple of times when I didn't have the other medication on hand. Just didn't seem to do much. Same for any other naproxen sodium product."

"With my first episode with gout, I went to urgent care and was given a prescription. I continued to suffer for about a week. I wondered if the drug did anything. I had my second two nights ago when I was in Taiwan, the night before my flight. I immediately popped 4 Aleve. In the morning, I took 4 more. My pain and swelling were completely relieved by the time I landed, and I've been 100% ever since with no additional medications. It was a miracle."

"Worked very well. Felt the pain intensifying, got the Aleve a few hours later, started with 2 tablets then 1 every 8 hours. Will do this for a few days. Very rapid relief of Gout big toe pain."

"Like the previous person mentioned, I'm a strong believer in Aleve, it works faster for my gout than the prescription meds I take. No more going to the doctor for refills... Aleve works!"

"Aleve works really well for my gout-induced knee pain. I have diarrhea today, but I'm not convinced the Aleve is what caused it. Just being able to walk again is a Godsend."

"I took Aleve during a gout attack. I could not really say that it helped my swelling or the pain. I ended up taking some Advil to relieve the pain."
