User Reviews for Naproxen

I HAVE PAIN IN MY FOOT AND SO MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED THIS MED. IT DOES NOTHING FOR MY PAIN.

The pain in my shoulder was eventually diagnosed as a partial rotator cuff tear. Early treatment with naproxen was ineffective at releiving the pain and caused gastric problems. All it really did was add another level of discomfort. A shot of cortisone and demerol followed by ibuprophen at 1800mg per day (3 600s) was a lot more effective.

arthritis bilateral hip joints, arthritis multiple lumbar virtabra. First started having significant pain then started taking 500 mg qhs took 2 weeks for maximum effect little pain thereafter unless trying to lift heavy (+100 lbs) loads. after 14 years began having kidney problems (creatine clearence 2.6.) Stopping naproxin kidney function returned to normal but I now hurt 24/7. always chronic pain with shooting pains with much movement waking up at night secondary to pain (sedate ny self with halcion and liter of wine to get to sleep, AVOID ACEMENAPHEN AND ALCOHOL if you like having a liver). 5/500 hydrocodone/acetamenaphen--note I seperate the hydrocodone and acetamenaphen and only take hydrocodone you research the method yourself-- q 6 hrs does not do as good a job as 500 qd of naproxin and I am rapidly building a tollerence. Till was without never knew how much good it did. I expect to have in depth kidneys done to see if or when I can start back on naproxin. otherwise will get hip replacement though with poor prognosis of spinal surgery will just have to learn to cope with lumbar pain.Read More Read Less

Dulled my tailbone pain but gave me serious gastric distress and cramping. I'm not sure what is worse. I hope when I'm off this, that my tailbone continues to not hurt or this wasn't worth it.

i have tendinitis in my wrist and this stuff really works.

Did absolutely nothing for roator cuff damage and bursitis due to car accident.

This medication did not work at all for me, I shattered my leg 2 years ago...

I have osteoarthritis. After knee replacement in 2002 I took Vioxx and Hydrocodone every am and pm. When Vioxx was taken off the market, my doctor prescribed Naproxen only, 500 mg am and pm. It just does NOT relieve the pain and some days I am very weak and can hardly walk. But if I add Tylenol for Arthritis, my stomach hurts. Very discouraging. BTW my knee is fine - it is my hips and shoulders that hurt.

it did not work as well for me i was still in pain and had to try something else

No Problems - short term

I have costochondritis and after trying several medications, the naproxen is the only thing that has worked for me. The pain is almost totally gone and I am able to function normally for the most part. I still have some pain, but have noticed that even after stopping the narpoxen I haven't needed any extra pain medicine. This was the sixth medicine that doctors tried and the only thing that has worked. I was on Naproxen for just over a month and it has made a world of difference.

Really great medicine. they gave it to me when i hurt my back in a car accident a couple years back, and when i developed tendonitis this year. i even take half with a tylenol if i have menstral cramps that make me double over in pain. it's super efficient for everything.

This medication was prescribed too me by my orthopedic surgeon. I was diagnosed with DJD of the knee & had a tibial osteotomy done on my knee. I tried this medication as part of my pain managment treatment. I feel that ibprofen has been a better choice for relieving pain, naproxen did not help my pain/soreness at all.

Arthiritis in jaw irratating ear. Also in shoulders. Works great. I had no problems.

I have a combination of carpel tunnel and irritation of a nerve going from my neck down my arm. I have taken this medication for two months and have experienced little relief.

I strained my back and had severe back pain. This quickly eliminated my pain and I actually fell better now than I did before I strained my back.

Have taken for three months and can tell a huge difference in reducing swelling. No side effects, easy to take.
