For Pain "I cracked a molar vertically into TWO pieces. After the initial two days (wherein a strong muscle relaxant was added to the mix) two Aleve for each dose kept me comfortable (nearly pain free unless I chewed on it) until I could get my quotes for a dental implant and get the offending tooth extracted. I am post extraction as of today and again, two Aleve per dose has allowed me to bypass the opiod pain management ALTOGETHER! Highly pleased and will keep Aleve as my go to pain intervention for intense pain wherein speed of results is the only option. "

For Pain "Of the various OTC pain medications I have tried, Aleve has worked the best. Though I'm not so much of a stickler when it comes to only buying name brands (oftentimes I've found that generics work just fine), I find that the name-brand Aleve has more of a positive effect for me than generic naproxen. Nevertheless, I keep a bottle of Aleve nearby at all times. It truly helps."

For Tendonitis "I used to take my prescription indocid/indometacin as needed for over 10 years for my gout and as an Olympic weightlifter to my long head bicep tendinitis Recently just I found over the counter Aleve 24h works well with just 1 tablet a day after the initial double doze twice a day for the first week I had no side effects at all I had also used the normal Aleve 3 times a day but not it was not as effective"

For Period Pain "I have had the worst period pain ever accompanied with heavy flow and clots that I was changing my sanitary pads every 2 hours and sometimes even 45 mins. The pain was so bad that I could barely walk or do anything. Lying on bed didn’t even help. Aleve has been a life saver. It helps in reducing the pain so quickly and I am able to at-least sit on my bed without having to feel that I am going to faint."

For Sciatica "I had to quit using due to swelling in my right leg and feet ( Edema). Went away several days after discontinuation of use. Went back on two more times but same problem occurred again. I now alternate Ibuprofen with Acetaminophen with no side affects except occasional constipation."

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

For Period Pain "No other drug helped me with period pain. I have severe period pain which affects my daily life 1 or 2 days per month. I usually have to take the max daily dosage, but I get prolonged relief which helps me get out of bed and have a more normal day. I also recommended it to friends who had severe period pain. In my worst days, I have gone to combine it with paracetamol, for stronger action. Sometimes the highest dosage is not enough for me towards the end of the day, but mostly manageable. I love my Aleve and I am scared to be low on stock, just in case I get intense cramps and back pain during my period. I am happy I discovered this drug 8 years ago; nothing else helped me so far, and I was miserable."
