I know how urgent it can feel to need to take the edge off pain, and morphine/opium etc certainly works as pain relief in the short term but it's essentially repackaging junkie for a different demographic. Try and find something less damaging dude


Trust me, it's taken very conservatively. I don't like it but at that point where nothing else works much.


Between that and injections, that's the only thing that works for me also.

I bought some Aleve.

This is the only thing that works some. Thanks!!

Aleve is naproxen. Thanks to your post, I bought some synflex (naproxen 550mg) locally.
I took one tablet and the next day, my arthritic hand was feeling so much better.

Just one Naproxen?? I take two. Just a little relief with two.

LOW Barometric Pressure front makes everything hurt. Anyone else??

I took one bcuz it's a 550mg Naproxen. I think Aleve is 250mg.
Also trying to get the lowest effective dosage for myself.

You're all welcome. Us old geezers need to stick together. I try to get by without these as best I can but periodically it just gets too uncomfortable. Too much sports then its ibuprofen and not a good idea to be mixing your meds.
