I have hip issues from osteoarthritis that crippled me for 3 straight months last year, couldn’t even bend over like more than 5 degrees, everything hurt: walking, standing, sitting with legs up, sitting with legs on floor, knees higher than hips, knees lower than hips, laying down on any surface or anything, etc.. So much pain. I saw a doctor, he checked me out, gave me a 500mg script for Naproxene. Said take it twice a day with food every 12 hours for 15 days. By day 2 I had no pain or issue at all. Like it never happened. I did all 15 days but didn’t need it anymore after 4 days. That was in July-August last year.
To date, I’ve only taken the prescription left overs like 15 times total since then, and its never been more than one or two pills a day to just get over some aggravation from driving, or physical activity, and the pain goes away right away. I haven’t even taken one tablet in the last…2 months? I can’t remember its been so long.
Naproxene is technically Aleve but what I have works better, you can’t just take 2, 200mg Aleve and expect something similar. I’ve tried, it doesn’t compare. Ask your doc for what I got, its not that bad, you just can’t drink any alcohol on it. Good luck man!
