If you decide to use Aleve....I'd suggest the liquigel formula.
It works far better than tablets, for me. I guess because it is faster absorbed, etc.
I use Aleve for my arthritis pain, and the new Liquigels may allow you to get by with lower doses like I do. I don't use it every day, and sometimes not even every week. But it is much better for me than even 800mg ibuprofen! One cap of this new Aleve 220mg = 800mg of ibu for me!
Chronic use of NSAIDs increase the risk of heart attacks. Aleve is naproxen and is considered the lowest risk of the bunch, but it is still a risk. All NSAIDs have a risk of GI bleeding. So taking every day, and/or at high dose increases this.
The liver and kidney effects are less common than the other two but do happen.
