For Muscle Pain "I am a 47-year-old female with a knee injury. The doctor gave me Anaprox 550 mg twice a day, and I was not able to take it. I started taking it, and on the third day, I started getting sick to my stomach, lost my appetite, and was dizzy. I cut down to 275 mg twice a day, and I still felt dizzy. This is too strong for me."

For Back Pain "I work retail at a large home improvement company. Most of the day, it works fine, but a lot of times I have to do heavy lifting. It does not help with that. I have had to, on numerous occasions, stop and take a break just to get through the day."

For Period Pain "Anaprox is a lifesaver for migraine and endometriosis. Allowed me to function on a daily basis until I got my endometriosis diagnosis. Didn’t completely alleviate my pain but made it manageable and didn’t make me too drowsy to go about my business. Also, it is great for migraines if I catch them early enough. The only downsides are that I did have to increase my dose over the years, and it is hard on the stomach."

For Back Pain "Allergic reaction to Anaprox, this is poison. I do not understand how the FDA approved this medication that almost killed me. I do not recommend it because of the dangerous side effects and it should be taken out of the market. IT IS POISON AND I ONLY TOOK ONE 559 MG IN THE GENERIC FORM (NAPROXEN)."

For Tendonitis "Did cause slight drowsiness, but controlled the pain of aggravated calcific tendonitis in my shoulder much better than I expected. Allowed me to sleep at night again and regain much range of motion."

For Osteoarthritis "If you have any kind of stomach problems, these kinds of medications aren't for you. It only relieved about 10-20% of my pain and hurt my stomach in the process."

For Period Pain "Love this pill for my heavy period cramps, and honestly, it helps amazingly against period diarrhea and sickness, too. I simply love it. I use it whenever I can't handle my period sickness."
