Aleve vs Tylenol
 | Aleve |  | Tylenol |  |
| Naproxen is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headaches, muscle aches, tendonitis, dental pain, and menstrual cramps. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, bursitis, and gout attacks. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. | This drug is used to treat mild to moderate pain (from headaches, menstrual periods, toothaches, backaches, osteoarthritis, or cold/flu aches and pains) and to reduce fever. | |||

Reviews
| 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 Tylenol review I have used this medicene since it was first put on market for use, and been very happy with the results. Did not relieve pain, however aspirin was effective. lower back pain no reason ,even when i wake up | |||
