I just got a script for Naproxen for use as an antiinflamitory, joint problems caused by youthful indiscretions, brawling for the most part. I let the doctor know that I had some reservations about it because of potential kidney problems. He agreed that they might be a problem if over done and said essentially if it don't hurt, don't take it and limited the number of pills.
And watch out for your stomach...I was on a theraputic dose for Naproxen for plantar fasctitis and arthritis, and ended up with a very troubled tummy.
NSAIDs can be tricky.
Learning alternatives for pain besides pain reliever pills is a good thing when possible.
I hear ya! I have Arthritis and I know how easy it is to take too many advil.
Be careful and you will be ok!
My best to you as well!

I have been taking Tylenol Extended Relief for Arthritis which has been working better for me than Naproxen. Did your doc tell you to stay away from Tylenol?
