It is difficult to comment on your question, as well. People vary so much in response to medications.
Some people can take Aleve or Advil for years with no side effects. Others may be very sensitive to the bleeding risks associated with them. Aleve (naproxen) is the least cardiotoxic
of the NSAIDs... but it still carries a risk in long term use.
The RX version of Aleve is 500mg/dose. So the over-the-counter dose is much lower as you can see.
Taking an NSAID and acetaminophen drug together is not recommended long
term. This may be additive to liver and/or kidney toxicities. You can rotate them, over several days however, a little more safely.

Thank you for reply. I am unable to take a lot of the PN meds due to anxiety and other reactions. I am sort of stuck and figured that low doses of OTC meds should be ok until my GP comes back from holiday leave and I can discuss with her. There is just so much conflicting info on the net you just don't know what to do sometimes. Thank you for information.
Sorry I am on an IPad and my reply is above and inbetween your post. This always happens when I am on my iPad. Sorry-
