| 1 | Joint and muscle pain | I have been keeping a food chart to determine the cause of my nausea, stomach pain and lack of appetite. When I stopped taking the naproxen, the symptoms went away. I always took it with food. | Bad stuff. Didn't really help with my pain. | F | 63 | 20 days 500 mg | 11/23/2018 | 1 | Chronic sciatica | Started with bad diarrhoea which continued despite medication. Stopped taking Naproxen thinking it would clear up after a few days. 3months later and I still have it and have lost over a stone in weight | I blame the Naproxen, my GP is thinking the same as me. He's now trying to find out how much damage has been done and how to stop the side effects. | F | 63 | 1 months | 2/12/2016 | 1 | Knee swelling from injury and arthritis | Horrible stomach cramps diarrhea muscle cramps. Cramps so bad could not stand or even touch stomach | Anti-inflammatory drugs are killing record numbers of people in the states and hospitalizing hundreds every day when will they control them | M | 62 | 1 weeks | 12/24/2017 | 4 | lower back pain | Gas and constipation | Pill contains lactose (milk) and I can't digest milk. Will be taking lactase enzyme with the pills from now on. No wonder I had horrible bloating. Also, bruise easily. But, it improves the pain immensely. | F | 61 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/19/2017 | 2 | Bursitis of hip | Stuffy head, dizzyness, nausea on and off during the day | Doesn't seem to help my hip pain, but when I rubbed ibuleve gel into my hip and took paracetamol felt more relief | M | 61 | 4 days 250gx2 2X day | 9/5/2020 | 1 | Back muscle spasms | Severe nausea | Took second tablet with milk before bedtime. Woke in middle of night feeling really nauseous. (Never been sick in my life.) Effects lasted more than 24 hrs only slightly relieved by eating. Scary.

This morning, I threw up everything and I haven't taken the drug for two days. I will never take this again. | F | 59 | 2.5 days 500 MG 2X day | 8/4/2013 | 1 | Knee pain ?osteoarthritis | Worsening dizziness on day 4. | No side effects until waking up on day 4, when I felt slightly dizzy, light-headed and wobbly. I took that morning's dose after breakfast and with Omeprazole as prescribed but the dizziness became worse through the day so I've not taken any more and intend to ask GP for an alternative NSAID. During the short time I took it, it worked well as pain relief. | F | 58 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 4/28/2014 | 1 | Knee pain | Severe Burning pain upper stomach, almost faint, chills from pain | I hope i dont have a hole in my stomach | F | 58 | 1 days 500 | 9/4/2015 | 1 | sciatica | Feeling really sick shakes only taken 2 wont take anymore | F | 57 | 2 days 250mg | 8/10/2015 | 1 | Shoulder Arthroscopic Surgery | Diarrhea, stomach boating, nausea every morning | Horrible! | F | 57 | 6 days 500x2 day | 3/30/2016 | 1 | An earache | I took 2 tablets without water because i didn't read the directions. I woke up in the middle of the night with stabbing pains in my stomache. Three days later and i still have pains and nausea. I am also very tired and just feel sick. I try to eat but it doesn't make me feel better. I'm worried that this has permanently harmed my stomache. I will report back with a follow up | I am astounded this is on the market. It is terrible. | F | 57 | 1 days 2 tablets | 6/27/2020 | 5 | Knee pain | Tingling in fingers and toes, belching and chest pains, heightened anxiety, tingling lips and constipation | It got rid of the pain in my knee but the side-effects were horrible I've stopped taking it | F | 56 | 6 days 500mg 2X day | 12/12/2021 | 1 | Migraine headaches | Severe heartburn and indigestion which bored through my back. Couldn't sleep all night until later the next afternoon. Caused weakness, nausea/vomiting, disorientation, dizziness, pain, back pain, anxiety, tinnitus, fever, chills and sweats, blurred vision, pain in joints, flu-feelings, runny nose and breathlessness and the list goes on. | I have pre-existing Ehlers-Danlos type 3, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, IBS and neuropathic pain, so not a well person anyway. I only took one 250mg tablet after my dinner. By bedtime (midnight) I had indigestion/heartburn, which got progressively worse (I had severe stomach and back pain). I was writhing around trying to get comfortable and couldn't. I have never felt pain like that, even surgery was less painful. The pain only eased by 2.00pm the next afternoon. I have been left, 4 days later, with blurred vision, nerve pain/shooting pains all over and joint pain.nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lack of appetite, shaking, headaches, sore eyes, sleep disturbance, weakness, stomach and bowel upset, constipation and diarrhoea, confusion, tinnitus, balance problems, runny nose, sinusitis, flu-like feelings and much more. I am seriously concerned about this drug and as someone who has underlying health problems, this has left me even more unwell. I cannot currently leave the house and have had to cancel one medical appointment. I am sensitive to drugs and foods and this was explained to my GP and no proton pump inhibitor was prescribed with it. Votarol Retard in the past made my stomach bleed, but Ibuprofen is just about tolerable. I thought it was worth trying, never realising the consequences. I hope these symptoms go as I cannot face eating and I hope I won't miss my cardiology appointment. I seriously would advise people to think carefully before they take this. | F | 56 | 1 days 250 3X day | 5/3/2017 | 1 | Osteoarthritis, shoulder pain | Blurry Vision | Didn't notice any pain relief for first week then noticed I could actually sleep on the same side of my painful shoulder. Last night I thought my TV set was failing but was horrified to realize that everything was as if I were underwater. It's been 24 hrs since last dose and vision seems a little bit less blurry. Going to see eye doctor for evaluation. I will not be taking this drug again. | M | 56 | 10 days 200mg 2X day | 4/11/2014 | 1 | Back pain | blood pressure shot up to 190/106 | Dr said at Er they are very high in sodium and to stop taking them . Never had high bp before. | F | 56 | 4 days 250 | 6/14/2015 |
