For Herniated Disk "I was on naproxen for 11 weeks after damaging my back. From week 5, I complained of stomach issues to my GP and hospital, and I was still prescribed. I’ve been off of them now for three weeks and still have issues with my stomach being unable to relax and constantly tense. I would avoid this drug at all costs, even if the pain is bad, it’s not worth the later upset. I was still in pain throughout and still swollen throughout."
