I took the med for 8 days @ a dose of 500mg in the AM and 500mg in the PM. ON THE 8TH DAY I PASSED OUT FROM A LOSS OF BLOOD. BLEEDING IN THE STOMACH. WHEN RESCUE TEAM SHOWED UP I DID NOT HAVE A PULSE AND A BLOOD PRESSURE OF 54/40. SPENT 2 DAYS IN ICU. DOING BETTER NOW BUT STILL VERY ANEMIC. ASK YOUR DR ABOUT THIS IF YOU HAVE HAD GI TROUBLE.

I HAVE NAPROXEN FOR 2 YEARS NOW FOR BACK/DISK PAIN. I HAVE HAD FEW SIDE EFFECTS EXCEPT FOR SOME SLIGHT SWELLING IN HANDS .THE MEDICATION SEEMS TO CONTROL MY BACK PAIN SO I CAN FUNCTION THROUGHOUT DAY .I WORK RETAIL SO THERE IS SOME LIFTING INVOLVED.I TRY TO KEEP MY LIFTING AT A MINIMUM SINCE IT SEEMS TO AFFECT MY PAIN LEVEL. NAPRXEN HELPS KEEP MY PAIN UNDER CONTROL

It was as if it was immediate relief because within 6 - 8 hrs. I no longer had the excruciating pain in my heal that nearly crippled me. I could hardly walk and now I can walk without limping. It was throwing my alignment of my spine out. I am very thankful for this drug. I am thankful my doctor prescribed this medication. My doctor said it was an inflamation in my heal.

It helps the swelling but I have constant stomach pains each time I took a dose. I had to stop taking this prescription.

Heartburn heartburn heartburn... nothing but heartburn since I've been taking this drug. It does it's job pretty well but I have also had to start taking 2 Zantac tablets ans several more Rolaids a day. Paired with a pain killer it really does help a lot.

-pain and swelling reduced quickly -able to resume work activities

I took this for 9 days. Started having dizziness/nausea--just not right. Also diarrhea. Did nothing to help the pain. Still having diarrhea/nausea after being off for 3 days. How long does it stay in the system?

I 'm supposed to take 250mgs. 2xs a day, but i only taken 4 pills in 2 days and now my legs are swollen and they are hurting from the fluid build up! I'm not to sure what to do as one time i developed rabdomialisis, and i feel like this med. is causing me to develop it again and i'm going to stop this med., and see if the swelling goes away, and if so then i will need to report this to the Dr.! 9-11-2009 P>S> has anyone else had this side effect to date that has yet to note on Web MD? If so Please Let Us know! Thanks!

constipation and nausea

stomach pain and confusion no relief from pqin and has made my anxiety worse

Prescribed for swelling and pain (arthritis) in my ankle. Dr. said it would take a couple days, pain and tenderness went away within a few hours and lasted a long time. For the first time in months I have gotten out of bed and not limped or had to use a cane. On second day fo treatment and I can stand and walk without any help. Mind nausea for about 90 minutes after taking a dose but it was tolerable. Nothing that adding a piece of toast or crackers after taking won't solve.
