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."

"Listen, whatever you do! If your stomach is sensitive, don't take naproxen, it had me so sick I thought I had the coronavirus! Nauseous, dizziness, and bad stomach cramps. It was terrible."

Naproxen "I use it for long-term muscle swelling and back discomfort. It works pretty well for the most part, it doesn't fix all the pain, but it definitely makes it more tolerable."

"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."
