What is a good medication for arthritic knee joints? I wake up in the middle of the night with pain. Going to bed is uncomfortable because I never can feel at ease with my legs.
I've been taking Naproxen 250 mg three times a day, but heard from someone else that it causes blood in the stools. Great.
Sookiedee I took the 500 MG of Naproxen for about 2 months . It helped me a little but not alot. Good luck Jason
Thanks Jason for your reply. I'll check with the doctor and see what she advises - something with few side effects...... that would be original!
I didn't have any side effects with the 500 Mg Naproxen . My rumey put me on that after the 75mg Mobic didn't help. But still after taking that for a couple of months I think I'm going to have to start the celebrex.
JD, Celebrex was taken off the market a few years ago because of serious heart risks, and there was even a law suit against that well known pharmaceutical company that puts profits before patients.
I took it back then and so did my Mom. I guess it's back on again, but consult with your doctor, and really pin them down about the side effects of this drug.
I don't seem yet to have any side effects with Naproxen.
Hi, I've been taking Naproxen for quite a while now and find that if I have a small amount of something (carbohydrate) to eat at the time I take it, it solves the problem of a sore stomach. Its worth a try if the Naproxen seems to suit you in all other ways.
Best wishes. Joyce
Thanks for that Joyce. Carbs are my best friend, so that will be no problem!
All the best, Louise
