“After a lifetime of physical work (60 year old man), my body is paying me back with arthritis, sciatica and mild but chronic pain. Ibuprofen is a waste of time, naproxen taken for about three weeks works wonders. Like many meds, they can increase the risk of stomach bleeding, so I like to strictly limit their use.
It's a question of the right balance. Everybody's different, but they're great for me.”
