When taking this medication for plantar fasciitis, I noticed that my hot flashes decreased markedly. If I stop the medication for several weeks, then the night flashes resume to an extreme experience

The difficulty lies in the need to take the medication with food when trying to space the medication out through the day. The meds help with discomfort and stiffness but not nearly to the point I am satisfied.

I am basically an anti-drug person, but Naproxen has been a god-send. It is the ONLY drug I take and is the ONLY drug that relieves my cramps, bloating, back pain, even arthritic symptoms. I don't take it on a regular basis, but will take back-to-back doses of 550 DS (double-strength) for 2 or 3 days straight if I'm in a lot of pain. Plagued with cramps since the age of 12, I was thankful to have found this drug in my 30s and still keep a full script on hand into my 50s for arthritis pain. I know some people can't handle it, and surprisingly, even with my sensitive stomach, Naproxen does not upset my system whatsoever. I rate it triple A+ for relieving ALL my pain & pain-associated symptoms.Read More Read Less

I have osteo arthritis in my spine, shoulder, knees and ankles. I was on Relafin but the VA would not prescribe that medication. I've been on Naproxen for over ten years. It works. I get quarterly checks.

I have Lymphedema in both legs and upon taking 500mgs in am and pm, both legs swelled more and more, causing more pain. I stopped taking it, and the increased swelling is going away. I will NEVER take this drug again.
