User Reviews for Aleve oral

I have back and hip pain. Take 440 MG 2 x a day and I don't have to take Hydrocodone which seems to cause severe constipation. Aleve relieves pain to the point I can avoid opiates.

Within one hour of taking Aleve, I develop severe diarrhea that has lasted so far for 17 hours and is still ongoing. Needless to say, I was up several times during the night. I also developed shortness of breath and found myself literally gasping for breath.

I have tried many other kinds of pain medicines and none has worked as well as Aleve. I take 2 Aleve in the morning and am pain free all day long.

HAD SEVERE STOMACH PAIN SHORTNESS OF BREATH THAT SENT ME TO THE HOSPITAL-CHEST AND BRONCIAL SWELLING, WILL NOT USE AGAIN PER MY DR.

Unbelieveable pain relief

I found that after using Aleve,I get very disturbing dreams and wake up in heavy sweat ...has anyone else ever had this happen...not sure I want to continue taking at night,doesn't happen in daytime just wondering

Used for upper back, neck pain, with associated headache. Took 1 500mg dose for two days with 2 to 3 200mg ibuprofins on the side b/c was in bad pain, and that was a bad idea. Had very bloody stool, and mild digestive pain/ dizzyness for about two days.

I took 6 aleve over two weeks...Ulcers! 2 nites hospitalized due to loss of blood...four blood transfusions!

the BEST and most quick solution to unbearable menstrual cramps.

After 2 weeks I had sever stomach pain and had to discontinue. It did, however take care of my pain from spinal stenosis.

Gives quick relief as needed for my arthritis. I only need on occassional basis, but it is very effective for me.

My doctor had me taking two over the counter Aleve twice a day for tendonitis. After taking it for weeks, while going to PT I noticed I was getting very dried out so I cut back to one in the morning...still doing ok but I have been getting spasms in the fronts of my legs and this morning had a hand spasm that lasted about 8 minutes with my thumb and index finger going together in a tight spasm. After some rubbing and shaking it finally stopped. I'm wondering if this is in regard to the Aleve..I'm wondering if it builds up in the body or what. Any ideas?Read More Read Less

took for heavy, painful period, worked right away, but severe stomach pain and burning after only 3 doses, now lingering discolored urine.

Within one hour of taking my prescription strength aleve I developed a massive headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and blurred vision. I've taken aleve before and had stomach problems. This time the side effects were so bad I refuse to take anymore of this medicine. I did relieve a little pain from the pain in my ribs where I had pulled a muscle but in this case the side effects outweigh the pain relief.

does not relieve pain completely but it is bearable

I have noticed itching; particularly scalp and temples and behind ears and I have eliminated every other otc vitamin I am taking. Have others reported itching with aleve?

I have lower back pain for over a week. Aleve has been somewhat effective but I'm not completely satisfied

After several years' remission from lymphocytic colitis, I took Aleve at my doctor's recommendation for SI (sacroiliac) back pain. I then had a severe and debilitating flare up of the colitis for several months. This was confirmed by biopsies during a colonoscopy, and I'm still under treatment for the condition, though the symptoms have finally abated. I will NEVER take Aleve again.
