Medication for arthritis

I have arthritis in my hands, knees and hips. I'm in pain
most of the time when standing or walking. At other times I'm in pain even while sitting or lying in bed. At the present time I'm taking Voltarin twice a day. This helps some. I'm wondering if Napricine might give me more relief.

DId you mean Naprosyn?
It contains the active ingredient Naproxen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling.
The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation.
Jaybeck, they are in the same drug class, so there is no way to be sure, other than you actually trying it to see.
