Aleve(Naprosyn-OTC-or Naproxen)-generic versions-works pretty well for me. It is probably better not to use it more than every other day(to avoid the kidney problems Nermal mentioned). Use 220 or 440 mg at a time; it lasts for 8-12 hours.If you limit your use to 3 times a week (no more than 6 tablets a week-preferably less), and don't take other OTC pain meds at the same time, you will die from something other than aleve poisoning your kidneys.
Tightwad-yeah pain is a warning-it is warning you that you are 55 yo.You can push thru the mild pain, or you can sit in a rocker.You are lucky if you don't have any age aches. Luck,Charlie
