It won't make it worse if that is what you are asking.

Thanks Sue. I've just had to change doctors due to moving house and he won't let me have my normal arthritis meds and gave me Naproxen instead. The last three nights my RLS has been bad and I have been in a lot of pain without my normal med, but maybe it's pain that's causing my RLS.

My previous doctor put me on Clonazepam at night and that doesn't seem to be helping at the moment.

Thanks for answering. I appreciate it.

For me Naproxen does not effect my RLS but anything stress related (pain) does.

I took it a couple nights ago to HELP my RLS. We are all different.

my experience with naproxen and RLS is mixed but mostly neutral. I had a herniated disk recently. The nerve pain seemed to make the RLS worse on the afflicted side and naproxen seemed to improve the symptoms. However, in general, I found naproxen is of no help to me at least.

Thank you, I think nerve pain definitely interfered with RLS. I have three prolapsed discs and squashed nerves in my back. I don't think that helps.!
