"I've had frequent steroidal shots in my shoulder for bursitis, but my doctor recommended trying naproxen sodium instead this visit. I am very pleased with the pain relief, as long as I remember to take it!"

"I have extreme pain from bursitis in my hips, especially at night. Naproxen alone has not been very effective for me. Aspercreme in combination with the naproxen has offered some slight relief when it wakes me up. Because I also have arthritis in my back, I’ve tried ibuprofen and acetaminophen with very minimal relief. Ibuprofen is probably most effective, but I avoid taking ibuprofen long-term."

"I was prescribed Naproxen 500 mg for my bursitis behind my knees in both legs. I am a college athlete and was having many problems performing at the necessary level with the pain in my legs-Naproxen helped immensely. Felt very nauseous if I did not take this medication on a full stomach!"
