For Back Pain "I had been suffering with sciatica for a number of years when it suddenly worsened. I started getting shooting pains and severe weakness in both of my legs. After one dose of 500 mg, I was able to sit comfortably and walk without the worry of one of my legs giving out from under me."

For Back Pain "I've been using this medicine on & off for 25 years. I get muscle spasms every few years & virtually drop to the floor with pain. 2 to 3 days with this stuff & I'm back swinging again. Better than Forte or Voltaren by a long shot."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I've had RA for 4 years. 500 mg naproxen tablets were my first treatment. They definitely helped the day get better and allowed me to function daily. However, they did not stop the morning stiffness and pain or the buildup of inflammation in my body. I definitely needed a more serious drug to stop the progression of the disease."

For Pain "I had ongoing pain and swelling for a full year after knee surgery to repair three rips in my right knee. It felt like bone rubbing on bone, felt hot to the touch with swelling After going through narcotics and Motrin for swelling, I worked on accepting that I would be dealing with this for a long time as a chronic condition. After my 1st dose of 500 mg of Naprosyn, it was a Godsend. For the 1st time in a year, my knee actually felt normal."

For Tendonitis "I was amazed at how quickly my pain was reduced after just 3 doses of Naprosyn. I had suffered from the pain of tendonitis in my thumb/hand for 5 weeks before taking the medicine. Of course, I wish I had seen the doctor weeks ago."

For Tendonitis "Fell onto my shoulder off my sons skate board, initially felt no discomfort, but my shoulder a week or so after began to become painful, enough to stop me swimming. Waited 3 months for it to go, no reduction on pain, went to doctor who prescribed Naprosyn within a day or two pain had eased, carried on for 2 weeks and now swim regularly, very slight discomfort but take remaining pills as and when needed, but discomfort so small rarely have to take them. Negatives, I think when taking medication I suffered stomach discomfort."

For Pain "Had a pain in left knee develop rather quickly. I am 70 and Dr. said was most likely arthritis. Prescribed Naproxyn and it worked very well for that knee. I have a bad right knee also that has been bad for 30 years and is getting worse. I hoped it would too get some relief but it has not. Curious about that. No noticeable side effects."

For Pain "I am compelled to review about this medicine , I was suffering from severe joint pain ( knee, ankle, wrist ). I got the treatment from several doctors, in several Hospitals at different place ,I was getting relief but only for few months and after few months I used to same pain. I suffered approximately 10 years from this pain . Finally or you can say luckily I had treatment from one of Doctors from his private clinic in Chennai , and he wrote only this TABLETS along with OCID 20. and now I am 100 % free from pain since last 7 years . I am very grateful to that Doctor and this medicine . One of my acquaintance was suffering from same kinds of pain and I suggested him to take the same tablet and now he is all right. Once again thanks a lot to this tablet and that Doctor"

For Sciatica "This was my last chance to get relief, my doctor had advised that if we couldn't get the nerve to relax, surgery was the next option. The medication helped, the only thing I would only take this at bedtime. This medication is very strong and makes you very sleepy, but it really does work. I only had to use it for a short time. I will not take anything longer than a month and only when I have to."
