| Add Aleve review I have back and hip pain. Take 440 MG 2 x a day and I don't have to take Hydrocodone which seems to cause severe constipation. Aleve relieves pain to the point I can avoid opiates. I took Aleve for knee inflammation. It did nothing for the pain but had to take it with food and worst of all it caused severe insomnia followed by crushing depression. Had very sore heel. Aleve helped somewhat in that I can walk without so much pain, but affected my stomach immediately causing bloating, stomach discomfort and constipation. | Add Cataflam review i have had many meds i suffer from chronic persistant back and leg pain....this is a joke that my doctor gave me this! I have a very bad toothache and I was prescribed to take the cataflam 50mg with ibuprofen. However, it has been an hr and my pain has not completely stop. I thought that if I took both, I would get instant relief but that hasn't occurred yet. I decided to do the alcohol swab treatment on the area where the tooth is aching until I can get in to see my dentist to have my root canal. | |||
