"I have been using Aleve for about 6 months. This medicine helps relieve all my aches and pains. I'm 68 and working in the food industry. Although I experience severe body and joint pains on a daily basis, I take one Aleve on the days I work and can put in 4 to 6 hours pain-free. I have not suffered any side effects so far. So far, none of the other medicines I have tried have been as effective as Aleve."

"I started taking Aleve for my arthritis in my hand, and the pain was gone. But after taking it for about 8 days, I noticed swelling in my feet, which was abnormal for me. I am 34 and in good health and have never had swollen feet. I then noticed the next day my feet and hands were swollen. I finally put 2 and 2 together and realized I was allergic to the Aleve. I stopped taking it and haven't had swelling since."

"I have R.A., and I was skeptical at first, but I was in so much pain in my wrist and hand I wanted to scream. Well, I took a 250 mg Aleve, and it took 2 hours to kick in, but I must say thank goodness for Aleve. I still feel a small amount of discomfort, but it's nothing that will interfere with my day. I recommend this. Normally, I take Tylenol, but I think I like Aleve better. My first time taking it. Put it this way, it won't hurt to try, and I'm glad I did."

"I have Psoriatic Arthritis. I am weaning off Prednisone and in the early weeks of taking Plaquenil. I only take 1 Aleve every 24 hours. It seems to be working, but it's hard to know if it's the combination of the two or just one."

"It does help a bit with stiffness and swelling. Please be sure to drink plenty of water, as it can raise your creatinine levels and lead to kidney problems if you don't stay hydrated."

"When I have a severe onset of arthritis pain, I take an Aleve. After about an hour, I begin to feel relief and can start moving again. It has been a great product for me."
