No, it's available generically as meloxicam. 15 mg, once per day.

Naproxen still has side effects (as do all drugs). My stomach can't tolerate it either (IBS), and it gives us both tinnitus worse than aspirin, but I do fine on meloxicam.
Google: naproxen side effects

TENS units are not that expensive anymore (<$100). They can be purchesed without prescription, but a prescription is usually required for insurance reimbursement.
