"Been taking 800 mg of ibuprofen three times a day for 12 days per doc's order with little relief for costochondritis and back pain. Getting pretty bummed out, so decided to try Aleve (not generic - the time release isn't the same), and within hours had relief. Finally able to sit comfortably!"

"I've been diagnosed with costochondritis for 2 years now. I have other joint issues, along with military neck and tendinitis. Nothing has worked as well and effectively as Aleve. I take anywhere from 220 to 500 mg when needed. All my aches and pains subside, and I can move about freely, even with nerve damage. I am so thankful for Aleve!"
