The pain pills work for me but knock my ass out. Agreed not to take them with anything but food/water.

I am 69 yo and have daily pain in my neck and lower back. The pain level varies but is daily. I don't take pain killers for the obvious reasons but may try the Aleve. I usually just use aspirin when it gets bad. The docs say I have arthritis and osteoporosis. The arthritis runs in the family but not sure how I got the osteoporosis. Thought that was a lady problem after menopause? :ummm:

Anyway, old age sucks!!! :bang head:

Different things work for different people the aleve is worth trying. The 800 MG ibuprofen seem to ease it a little for me but I might try aleve to. I have taken a couple of the pills that they gave me & they seem to help with the vertigo I have been getting where nothing else has helped.

I don't know about vertigo being helped by Aleve, but the generic equivalent of Aleve, Naprosyn, will help your pain and should require less multiple dosages to take-care of your pain.

I will try the Aleve. I am up for any thing non prescription. I don't think it will help with the vertigo though. I been reading on it some & Benadryl is supposed to help there are a lot of other things to but that is the best non prescription thing I have found. I did find the exorcise that is supposed to help but they said just take it easy for a bit so that is what I have been doing. Im going stir crazy though so fixing to get out for at least an hour or so.
