I got my period and since I have to work I had to take 2 aleves. I am in pain. Yesterday was my 1 month anniversary for my surgery. The NP said as long as you don't take it daily you will be fine. So I hope I will be because I had no choice but to take it. The sad part is that it's not really helping

Poor girl, I remember those horrible days. I could not have functioned without pain meds.Advil was my lifesaver. I took a ton in my lifetime. God knows what all those meds did to my liver. I sure hope you find relief.

Tell me about it. I can't live without aleve and I only take it during this time of the month. I don't take it for anything else. I know this will probably damage something inside my sleeve but I will have to deal with it because there was no way I could of came to work without taking something. I hate liquid Tylenol and it doesn't even help.

I haven't seen you post lately hope all is well

I'm allowed to take NSAID's occasionally but I went ahead and asked my dr. for a prescription for Tramadol for cramps, just a couple days' per month worth. Might be worth checking in to, especially if Alleve isn't helping all that much anyway.

I was just going to mention Tramadol... Works great. I hope you feel better!

I take Tramadol for my psoriatic arthritis, but since being off of my anti-inflammatory meds due to my new "tummy", I had taken an occassional Aleve. My rheumatologist told me to take them for my bursitis in my shoulder last month to help with the pain. I don't take it often, but when I do, I take it on a fuller stomach, usually right after I've eaten or with my meal. I know....no drinking with a meal, but sometimes, I have to be a rebel and do it for the pills..... better that, than to continue to suffer!

I took 2 aleves in a empty stomach but ate right away. I feel so much better. Thank you for the recommendations
