"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" It won't get you off your head if that's what you mean but it's a very good anti-inflammatory. Just make sure to take it after food others you'll have stomach issues as well to contend with | |||
"I've taken it for gout before but it didn't really do anything for me. Hope it works for you pal." Colchicine is far better for gout | |||
"They usually prescribe it with Omeprazole to protect your stomach. You can that over the counter as an indigestion relief pill possibly a bit cheaper than a prescription. " This is what I had last year to protect stomach and could only take codeine : paracetamol with it I was prescribed it for 4 weeks | |||

"It's not a painkiller in the same way paracetamol is, it's an anti inflammatory drug. Make sure you take it just after eating to help protect your stomach lining. " It targets inflammation and usually pain is due to nerves having pressure on or around it thus the pain killing function and it being effective for that usage. | |||

Yes, that's why I said it's not a painkiller in the same way that paracetamol is. Paracetamol is believed to work on the central nervous system hence the two are effective for different things and can be taken together | |||

"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" Works in combo with diclofenac. It probably depends on your pain level I’ve been on it for ages and it only takes the edge off. It’s a lot stronger than regular ibuprofen. | |||

"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" Yes and no.. it has anti inflammatory properties and is usually taken with Omeprazole to reduce gastro issues. Both meds should be not be used long term. I’m prescribed it, but take very infrequently and prefer, when pain isn’t too bad to take tumeric, ginger etc and use ICE. But that’s just me. | |||

"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" Usually does the trick as an inflammatory, but I've seen some pretty sore stomach linings from use of Naproxen (endoscopy nurse). As others have said make sure to take PPI (omeprazole, lansoprazole) to protect your stomach. | |||

"I suffer with arthritis in my ankle after a nasty break a few years ago, at first I was given Naproxen didn't agree with me so was given Diclofenac instead alongside Lansoprazole which seems to keep it at bay." Same advised to take both to keep stomach happy but naproxen as diclofenac banned | |||

"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" The best in my opinion. I have knee,foot,shoulder & hip arthritis which causes me great pain especially at night when trying to sleep . I was on it for many years and got took off it after stomach surgery. My nights are awful despite being on other meds but nothing touches the pain like naproxin done . | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"I took it for a few years for hip pain before my replacements, it works well as long as it's taken regularly as it needs to build up. I was also prescribed omeprezole to protect the lining of the stomach, we're you prescribed that too op? If so make sure that you take it" And take that will deplete your vitamin D. Ruins your gut taking antiinflammatories and antacids | |||

"Yes it’s good but take lansoprazole with it or it can cause stomach ulcers " And that in turn has its own problems. Med review wanted to take me off lanz, but Ont fix the underlying problem it’s masking (reflux from hiatus hernia) | |||
| |||
"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" Have you been given any help/guidance for your knee pain ? | |||
| |||
"Yes it works But you need the other medications to protect your stomach " I’m always surprised when you pick something up at the pharmacy like this in the UK they don’t automatically offer you the complementary drugs to look after your body. Naproxen is a very good anti-inflammatory painkiller better than ibuprofen, but it’s not the only way to reduce inflammation and the related pain. | |||

"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" Make sure you take the stomach protection tablets aswell if found out the hard way was bed ridden for 2 days | |||

"Sorted out my tennis elbow in a matter of days. Suffered for months with it, should of gone to the GP sooner" Acupuncture sorted mine out for me. I had injections and physio and the acupuncture was the only thing that sorted tennis elbow for me. | |||

"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" Short term it’s fine, like diclofenic, but they should also be looking to address the root cause of the pain. | |||
| |||
| |||
"I don’t find it does anything for me sadly. I’ve been taking it recently as I had my shoulder repaired but it didn’t help. " Can I ask, was it for rotator cuff issues as I can’t seem to get anywhere | |||

"Naproxen didnt help me with arthritis pain, even with paracetamol. I found codeine more effective If it isnt helping then speak with your GP. Make sure you take something to protect your stomach as well. " Etoricoxib is much better for arthritis pain. My 17 Yr old takes it for that | |||
| |||
| |||

"This is interesting. I've been prescribed it for when my knee pain flares up due to arthritis. I assumed it was similar to ibuprofen but stronger so the same rules apply and to only take with food? No talk about taking additional meds from the gp." It's an anti-inflammatory doesn't work for everyone and can give more side effects similar as mentioned above about stomach ulcers if already have it can inflame it. I was given it years ago for back and it was useless and shouldn't have been prescribed it given the ulcer I already have | |||

"As i mentioned earlier on the thread,I stopped taking Naproxen years ago but no-one thought to take me off Omeprazole,which I was taking to protect my stomach against ulcers. So for years I've been taking it needlessly. Only when I brought it up yesterday,did the Nurse Practioneer say,"oh,you can stop taking that now"! So I've got to slowly wean myself off it.🙄" What have they prescribed instead? Omeprazole is something to protect the stomach from other drugs Have they put you on another nail or an option? | |||
"I have been on this years for a bad back, if I stop taking it my back is agony, as others have said get omeprazole as well to protect your stomach Mrs" What up with your back? Has surgery on mine last year | |||

She checked my other medications and there's nothing I am taking which can effect my stomach. So i can come off it completely. One less to take!😃 | |||

"I used to have it for knee pain.. it stripped the lining of my stomach. I had hiccups for over a week. It's amazing for pain.. but I'll never touch them again." Didn’t you get the stomach liner Togo with them ? I had no problem with them and seriously helped pain | |||
"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" Avoid, It had anaphalactic shock and had a crash team waiting for me yhanks to Naproxen. I take tramadol | |||

"I've been prescribed this today for chronic knee pain during the nights, which has really messed up my sleep. Is this stuff any good?" It fucks up your kidneys but I swore by it. I cant take it as I lost a kidney to Cancer 3 years ago so im now on dhhydrocodine. | |||
