Not an anabolic question but I wanted to know what you guys know about the pain killer naproxen. Thanks in advance
Naproxen

I love that stuff, use to pop it like candy. It did more for me than my first physiotherapist did.
Now, I take it sparingly, 1-2 every 1-2 weeks when my shoulders have a little to much inflamation.
As safe as Ibuprofen and Asprinin, just don't tan with it since it makes you photo sensitive.
Taking 2 at once may give you stomach pains.

i used it. i liked it because it wasn't TOO strong. you can sort of dose it yourself that way. take one. if it isnt enough, next time take 2. a little better than advil.

It's not a painkiller but a anti inflammatory drug

any more info?
I used it heavily for 2 weeks while taking a break from lifting to help with tendonitis. It killed the pain, but also my stomach after a while. I also believe it to be rough on the liver.
What I have since learned is that if your goal is to help with pain associated to sprains/strains/tendonitis etc, your not only wasting your time but making things much worse.

Naproxen = Aleve
Take a close look. Naproxen sodium is what Aleve is. The only difference is that you can get it at a higher potency if you get it in a prescription. However, its much more expensive and you are just as good of going to the supermarket and popping 2 of those instead of 1 prescription one for much less money.
As for your question, it is a decent med, but there are much stronger things out there. However, if pain is terribly severe, it is often treated with Opium-based painkillers such as Vicodin (hydrocodone), Oxycontin (oxycodone), etc.
