Naproxen "I have never taken Aleve before. Dr. recommended for my trigger finger (inflammation), it did help. Took the round blue pill, 220 mg, one after dinner. 4 tablets in four days. I’m stopping it today as I got a sore throat out of the blue. Could it be a reaction? I’m pretty healthy and I know taking medications is not my forte. Still, I know it did help."

"Naproxen is great, it helps me a lot. I could not work, my right knee was swollen, and I was limping in pain. I went to my doctor, and he recommended I take naproxen. I have been good ever since. Thanks, Doc."
