Naproxen

Was given naproxin last Thursday. It seems to be helping with the pain a bit. A bit is better than not helping.

You are right, any little relief is better than none. I was prescribed naproxen too. At first I thought it was the answer to all my prayers, but then it stopped working after a week. I'm still taking it and hoping it will still help, but I'm still in pain. Not sure it is making any difference now, but scared to come off them in case it brings a lot of pain on. Xx

There not so good Smoked!

have they given you something else to take with them? I have had them for years for my spinal damage (as and when I need them) 2 years after I started taking them I was asked by another doctor if I was also taking something else as well, as naproxen can affect organs. I don't take anything else as mine are only as and when I need them, you need to check if this is the case, I wouldn't want you to get anything else. I find them excellent for my back pain when that plays up

I had onepraxole too but clearly that didn’t help in my case

Hi there, naproxen is a good inflammatory drug but like every other drugs it as it side effects so be careful as it damaged my bowel and led to a disease called ulcerative colitis , I hope it works for you but just be careful.
