Wowzers! This stuff works great. I mean 15-20 minutes---the pain is gone. Yes it works on headaches---I ought to know--I teach for a living. Arthritis and Bursitis.--Yep-that too. I ought to know on that front as well--I'm a middle aged golfer. There ...

Pros: It relieves pain all day with just one tablet
Cons: It has a tendancy to irritate the stomach lining

Remember that devilish looking old Ben Gay character with the pitchfork. Well that's how I have been feeling for more years than I care to remember. For many years, I have tried PT, Chiropractic, and Accupuncture to get some relief from my chronic neck ...

Pros: It worked, no negative side effects, reliable product, lasts a long time
Cons: none for me

I really hate going to the doctor. But after suffering with a painful lump on the top of my foot for a couple of months I finally had it looked at. A couple of x-rays later and I had my diagnosis, a bone spur. My doctor prescribed Naproxen, which helped ...

Pros: Available Everywhere
Cons: Poor Results, Slow

Aleve is produced by the Bayer Corporation, a company that has been trusted for years. It is a competitor to Tylenol and Advil, and makes a claim that sounds too good to be true. In fact, that is the case. The Bayer Corporation claims that taking two ...

Pros: It helps a bit. I did not find it as good as aspirin.
Cons: If something might cause stroke or heart attack, I will just pass.

No one likes to hurt. I mean, really, do you wake up and say: “I want to hurt all day?” That is how it goes for many people. It can be the wear and tear of growing older, or it can be a disease that causes pain in various and not-so-pretty ways. ...

Pros: Fast acting, long lasts, knocks out my killer head aches and muscle pains.
Cons: Usually will not last the full 12 hours.

Between tension headaches, eye strain, and sinus headaches I have spent a small fortune over the years on Advil, Aspirin, Tylenol, and other over the counter pain killers. For the last two years I have sworn off all of the others and been a ...

Pros: relieves minor pain associated with headaches and body aches
Cons: relieves only minor pain, can only take a limited amount

I came across Aleve some years ago when I was still in high school. I’ve battled migraines since I was 7 years old and my mother was always on the lookout for different products to try, instead of prescription medications. She began using ...

Pros: Highly effective.
Cons: Very strong, be careful about how much you take. (just follow the instructions)

I have used this product several times for pain relief. I used to play clarinet professionally (now I only play it for fun) and I used to get really bad shoulder pain from the weight of the clarinet resting on my right thumb. Everytime I would take ...

Cons: Can cause stomach bleeding and other problems. Read the directions.

I recently showed most of downtown Milwaukee to Tom Barnes, a fellow Epinions writer. We did a extraordinary amount of walking and Aleve saved the day for me.

A few years ago I went out to the country to visit some friends for a change...

Pros: Works better than any other pain reliever I've tried
Cons: Cost, but see review for a way around this.

Comparison to other medications:
I used Tylenol for years and it never really helped whatever condition I was taking it for. Then, I was introduced to Ibuprofen in about 1992 after my sister had knee surgery and was taking it as a pain reliever and...

Pros: Works wonderfully for menstrual cramps, reduces flow
Cons: Doesn't always take it COMPLETELY away, but what does?

I use Aleve for everything. I get migraines and severe cramps. While at times it does not completely alleviate them, it takes the edge off enough to make them tolerable. I also know other people who only use Aleve and actually it was one of them who...

Pros: works without upsetting my stomach
Cons: nothing

It’s no fun growing old. No, I’m not ancient, but I am over 50 and while I like to “think” I’m young, many times, my body reminds me that I’m not. Yes, I can function well while coping with the aches and pains from the...
