be careful as both of those are blood thinners. 1 Aleve every 12 hours is the rule.

Then my doctor took me off of it and put me on coumadin. I believe Aleve is made by Bayer. Just be careful with it.

Aleve is the best pain medication.

Headache not quite formed yet today. Really concerned about this being ongoing. God knows what would happen had I not been vaccinated and boostered

A shoulder replacement is no doubt in my future. I agree with you. Aleve works the best.

Like me, cannot tolerate Aleve at al so do monitor your stomach carefully. I experienced acute digestive upset and gut pain from it. It doesn't go well with a lot of other meds, I knew one friend who was on several meds, was bullied into taking naproxin sodium (Aleve) and it nearly killed him in a few days. Ibuprofen might be safer.

... 3 tablets when I wake up and then at bedtime everyday. But, Ibuprofen is also a muscle relaxant.. Also, helps me fall asleep. I am not a doctor, but have been dealing with long haul COVID symptoms for a while. Good luck to you.

Not the one mentioned above, was having post covid issues and she started taking iodine and potassium (potassium phosphate) and she said it really helps to relieve those problems.
