After a second hip replacement, doing an NHS exercise I fractured my "Greater Trochanter Bone"
That was Feb 2014 and I'm on crutches permanently.
About 3 weeks ago the GP put me on MST {took me off the codeine} To be taken twice a day {12 hours between them}
I'm on Naproxen......twice a day {12 hrs between them}
I've been taking both together...9am and 9pm Does anyone know if there is any reason why I shouldn't take them together?
NSAIDs :: Naproxen With Losartan
I take Naproxen for Rheumatoid arthritis but as I have high blood pressure I also need to take Losartan 50 mgms daily. My GP now wants me to have 6 monthly blood and urine tests. I think this is because these drugs combined can cause kidney problems. Has anyone come across this before?

How Much Naproxen For Tension Headaches
I have had constant tension headache for four weeks now I have been prescribed naproxen which I have taken twice a day for tension headaches I have used the whole 28 pack and now my gp thinks I have a rebound headache, they have advised me to stop taking it, I tried this the other day and by 2pm the pain was awful I could not even move. There has never been a point where the pain from the tension headaches got better so I never stopped taking naproxen
Has anyone has similar issues? How much naproxen do u take for tension headaches? Because from day one my headaches have been unbearable it's so bad that without the naproxen it's painful to just breath, confused.
Stopping Naproxen - How Long Withdrawals Last?
I haven't been feeling too well lately so have been absent from posting it reading on these boards. I have a host of illnesses including severe osteoarthritis, mild spinal stenosis, Graves' disease (suffered and survived a mistreated thyroid storm), chronic pain, fibromyalgia, hypertension, LBBB (left bundle branch block in my left side of heart), tendinitis in my ankle, obesity, anxiety, major depressive disorder, etc. You get the drift. I also therefore take about 12 different types of medications equalling up to 24 pills a day I ingest. Oh and I also have anemia and some other female issues (i'm 52 years old)
Due to my latest complaints of severe nausea and lethargy my primary care physician advised me that he would like to see me first try to stop taking Naproxen. I currently take 500 mg twice daily. I stopped cold turkey on Tuesday night and today is friday. I am feeling awful. Please help are these withdrawal symptoms normal with even naproxen? I've been taking it for about a year and prior to that I was taking celebrex for about two years. I am not sure if I will feel better in a few more days of no more headaches and shaking and sweating and irritable bowel.
Has anyone successfully stopped naproxen and how long for withdrawals? And if anyone just decided that the risk of health issues arising from using naproxen was better than feeling pain?
I am using a host of other meds in conjunction with my pain specialist including a host of other opiates, etc.
Can someone help me? I don't know if I should just grin and bare it the worse almost over. Or should I give up and take it again. I don't want to be taking so many drugs any more. I'm feeling like they're killing me fast yet help with pain and daily living.
NSAIDs :: Naproxen With Ibuprofen And Co-codamol?
I find these tablets really good for my arthritis. I have arthritis in hips, knees and at the back of my neck.

One day this week I had a toothache and wondered whether I could have taken something for it on top of Naproxen. I wondered about Ibuprofen or co-codamol.
Disc Prolapse :: Alternative To Naproxen?

Crohn's Disease And Naproxen - Vomiting
I had my surgery in 98. I've been symptom free for over 10 years. I recently hurt my back at work and was prescribed Naproxen (Aleve) because of the new pain med laws. Well after taking it for a week, I just started vomiting large amounts of blood. I went to the ER and they were shocked to hear that this was prescribed this for my pain since they were aware I had Crohn's. Has anyone else had symptoms like this from Naproxen? Would it be a honest mistake or malpractice?

View 1 RepliesPolymyalgia Rheumatica :: Prednisone, Ibuprofen And Naproxen?
Lots of discussion about whether to take ibuprofen or naproxen for periodic pain. Some comment that one should never take these two pain killers because 1) they don't help or 2) they don't interact well. Read earlier today that if either of these drugs (also referred to as NSAIDs) work for you, you don't have PMR. So when some of you "flare" there is a tendency to increase the amount of prednisone as the antidote.
I am interested in your experience here. I have found that both ibuprofen and naproxen help a lot with the pain from periodic flares, and particularly at night. I have not had any adverse reactions in any form. I have resisted increasing the prednisone because I don't want to start tapering all over again.

View 1 RepliesSide Effects :: Naproxen - Uneasy Stomach And Blood In BM
My doctor put me on 500mg Naproxen,twice daily, for a knee injury i sustained. The first day I took it, the pain was nearly gone. But of course it came back the next day, but much less. So on the second and third day, I stupidly took the afternoon/evening dosage without food...and I took one before I went to bed also(VERY STUPID, I know). But the next morning, when I had my BM, it was a bit constipated. But I was able to get it out. However, there was A LOT of red blood in the BM. I still took the two dosages that day(with food this time),and the next day(yesterday) my BM was perfectly fine. Today, my BM in the morning was normal. I took my dosage in the morning with food, and then my evening pill with a fruit salad. I felt like I ate A LOT of fruit salad for dinner, and had a rice/bean/cheese burrito after, then some ice cream for dessert. I immediately had an uneasy stomach, and had to BM again. There was red blood again this time. I made an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow morning to figure out what's going on. Does anyone here have any similar experience or any insight as to what or what this is going on?
View 1 RepliesTemporomandibular Joint Pain :: Naproxen (Aleve) Really Helped
I just wanted to share with everyone that I have tried Magnesium Citrate and Vitamin D for my TMJ pain and if anything, they actually made it worse. My wife recommended that instead of Advil (which does take the edge off a little) to try Aleve. I took (2) 220 mg pills right after dinner on a full stomach and noticed a big difference about 1-2 hours later. It kept me out of pain almost completely all night and I didn't even need to take more yet, knock on wood. I also noticed that a medical journal online posted that Naproxen had proven to be more effective than Ibuprofen or Tylenol for TMJ pain. Anyone else find this to be true for them too?
