For Sciatica "I have been taking ibuprofen for years but only helped a little. I saw a commercial for Aleve and thought I would try. What a difference in my back pain and sciatica. It even took down the inflammation in my hands."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "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."

For Sciatica "I had to quit using due to swelling in my right leg and feet (edema). Went away several days after discontinuation of use. Went back on two more times but the same problem occurred again. I now alternate ibuprofen with acetaminophen with no side effects except occasional constipation."

For Period Pain "Swelling, tingling feeling on my tongue, and hives shortly after taking this product. I remember taking it for period pain in middle school and had little issues, now I must stay completely away from it."
