Aleve Pain Reliever/Fever Reducer — 

Ok, I don't get headaches. I just don't.

Until a couple years ago that is.

Now when I get one, it's a doozy. They can last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. Luckily the week ones are few and far between or I wouldn't be able to function at all huh?

So, what do I turn to when one of these humdingers hits? You guessed it: Aleve. 2 of these puppies knocks the pounding dibilitating pain right outta my head. I've probably lost a few brain cells in the process too! d;-) It's worth it if I don't have to spend days on end wondering if my skull is going to explode.

It's also good for the pain in my back from the old drill rig injury from the early 80's that crops up from time to time. Other pain relievers don't seem to touch that one, but Aleve always gets the job done.

The only problem I have with it? It usually passes the expiration date before I use up a bottle, by a few years.

Glad you found something so simple that works! I Know what you mean about meds expiring--I rarely take medicine also.

Aleve does not work on my pain. It would be nice if it did because my pain medicine is expensive. Good review!

This type of product doesn't always work for us. I wish it did. Good review.

I can't take Aleve because I am one of the rare ones allergic to Naproxen. Other family members swear by it though. Good review!

You could ask me about pain killers but I cant remember the names I took so many.

I would share with you why women love them too, but girls have to have some secrets. Yes?

You sold me. I have heard so many good things about Aleve. I have a herniated disc and the pain is unbelievable. Nothing seems to help not even Hydrocodone. I am going to try Aleve. Thanks for the info!

This is the only stuff that works for me. Tylenol laughs at my pain.

I've had good luck with Aleve also. They get the job done and are worth the money you pay.
