Hurt my (mid) back while doing pilates four days ago. Still in some pain. Have taken naproxen and put biofreeze on but still feel some discomfort. How do I know if i need to see a doctor? ## Any time you experience pain that is new for you and severe, you should see your doctor to be safe. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Naproxen as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. How much did you take? Are you on any other medications?

information ## Is Anaproxen and Naproxen cousins? Are they the same?? ## The active ingredient in Anaprox is Naproxen, so they are the same. Was this prescribed for you? ## Can the Anaproxen capsule be addictive? is it possible that it becomes an addiction? ## It is not as addicting as something such as a narcotic, but our bodies can become dependent on anything that we use regularly for a long period of time and if we stop taking it abruptly, we will experience withdrawal symptoms. ## withdrawal symptons? i'm 17 years old. i think i've become dependant on it. with every little pain, i need to take one, but it's a need even if the pain is little, and when i say little, i mean tiny.

I was given a new copper IUD about four months ago after my old one was causing me pain. I'm now experiencing the same pain I was last time. I'm wondering if using Naproxen (Aleve) vaginally could help relieve inflammation better "at the source" rather than take it orally. I don't want to take it orally as I am bodybuilding and do not want to affect my gains, as NSAID medication is apt to do. ## Hello, Laura! How are you? No, you shouldn't use anything vaginally that hasn't been formulated to be used that way, because it could cause serious infections. Have you consulted your doctor?

I m male age 60. Suffered right lower abdomen pain at very close to lowest rib tip. But sometime OK and sometime the pain move from right to left. Some time I feel lower back mussel getting pain. Dr. gave me this Apo- 500. During treatment it is OK but no more medicine. I m sailing and far away from doctor. What is this disease. Is it due to wind or gastric.

I found these pills in my boyfriends Truck? What are they for? He orders medication from Mexico and I don't trust Mexican pharmacists sometimes.

Can naproxen sodium 550mg help with uti infection pain while peeing? I was trying to see if it lessens the pain. ## It might help a little, but you would likely get more relief from Phenazopyridine, it is available over the counter in most drug stores. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, discolored urine, and stomach pain. However, it is specifically used to alleviate the burning and pain that occurs with a UTI. You may want to look for it, if your doctor approves of you trying it. Are you also on an antibiotic?

oxycod apap 5 325 mg or naproxen 500 mg which is better for neck pain and back pain ## These are two very different medications, which treat pain in different ways. The Oxycodone with Acetaminophen is a generic for Percocet, it is a narcotic (opiate) analgesic. Thus it does carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation and drowsiness. Learn more Percocet details here. But the Naproxen is just a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Learn more Naproxen details here. Which one has your doctor advised you to take?

The FDA does warn that Norco carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I had foot surgery and my Dr prescribed me Norco 10's. Can I take Naproxen 500 with that to ease pain?

Tramadol & Naproxen is not helping my extreme pain for fibromyalgia, sciatica, pinched nerves. Wondering if I should take a stronger pain medicine. Also on lyrica. tired of suffering ...soc. security disabled for 15 years. ## Because I'm not a doctor, I can't really say what you should be taking; but my opinion is that if Tramadol + Naproxen isn't working well enough for the pain, then you may want to consider asking your doctor about the possibility of switching over to another pain medication like Vicodin or Percocet.
