"Had a pain in the left knee develop rather quickly. I am 70, and the doctor said it was most likely arthritis. Prescribed Naprosyn, and it worked very well for that knee. I have a bad right knee also that has been bad for 30 years and is getting worse. I hoped it would too get some relief, but it has not. Curious about that. No noticeable side effects."

"I am compelled to review this medicine. I was suffering from severe joint pain (knee, ankle, wrist). I got treatment from several doctors in several hospitals at different places. I was getting relief but only for a few months, and after a few months, I used to have the same pain. I suffered approximately 10 years from this pain. Finally, or you can say luckily, I had treatment from one of the doctors at his private clinic in Chennai, and he wrote only these tablets along with OCID 20. Now I am 100% free from pain for the last 7 years. I am very grateful to that doctor and this medicine. One of my acquaintances was suffering from the same kind of pain, and I suggested he take the same tablet, and now he is all right. Once again, thanks a lot to this tablet and that doctor."

"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."

"I had ongoing pain and swelling for a full year after knee surgery to repair three rips in my right knee. It felt like bone rubbing on bone, felt hot to the touch with swelling. After going through narcotics and Motrin for swelling, I worked on accepting that I would be dealing with this for a long time as a chronic condition. After my first dose of 500 mg of Naprosyn, it was a Godsend. For the first time in a year, my knee actually felt normal."
