For Period Pain "I have stage 4 endometriosis and in turn have terrible period cramps. I took Advil for years, but found that it always made me nauseous and just feel really out of it. I finally took the suggestion of my friend who has bad period pain and took Aleve. I take 2 at the first sign of cramps and find that the relief lasts a while. I used to take 4 extra-strength liquid Advils in 24 hours, now I can take 1-2 regular Aleves and I don't get nauseous or feel weird."

For Period Pain "This is my first time using Aleve, and it has worked wonders for me. I cannot believe how well it has worked so far! I have had severe cramps since I was 12 years old and have tried so many pain relievers that haven't worked so well. I took 2 pills about 20 minutes after I started cramping, and 20 minutes later, I was all good! For 24 hours! The third day is usually my worst, but I took two pills, and I was good for about 17 hours. Then I took 1 pill, and I was good for another 9 hours. And it doesn't make me nauseated! So glad I found this, I just hope it keeps on working like this."

For Back Pain "Two Aleve a day helped my back pain, but over time it affected my stomach. My gastroenterologist knew immediately what my problem was, and I've stopped Aleve entirely. I had almost a year of constant nausea and pain until I quit taking Aleve."
