I love Aleve! I do not know why it is so much better than tylenol, but tylenol damages your liver and upsets your stomach so why would anyone take it? I swear this isn't a commerical, I just cannot believe how good Aleve works. I hate taking pills and I love that I can take 2 and feel better all day! I think every woman should have Aleve during her time of the month, it is the ONLY thing that works for me. Thanks Aleve.

my mom has chronic knee pain, and she's on state medical, which the doctors would care less of her pain. She has been suffering for the longest. And I don't know what to do. She lives in a small area known to over a little 9000 in population, and there is only one clinic for the whole city, which takes a month or so to see the doctor...so I read upon this, I dont' know if aleve will work for her, but her problem is that she doesn't have the enzyme in her knee anymore it's all dried up, it's like bone to bone...no liquid, would anyone recommend this to her.

Effective, just as good as Advil to me. Fast acting and works!

I just got into the aleve craze that my friends were always trying to convert me to :) I finally tried it for, I believe, knee pain. Worked wonders on my joints-sounds awful at my age, but it's true. I keep a bottle in my purse for emergencies; chronic knee pain strikes at any time. I find it works just as well on my headaches too.

You Americans are soooooo lucky, they don't sell this in Canada. This stuff kicks ass!!! It is an intensely effective pain reliever and actually puts you in a pleasant state of mind. which is what surprises me, i'd have thought there might have been some Oxycontin thing or something with this one.

These work great, but don't buy into that "one tablet" nonsense. I take three and I'm feeling no pain at all.

The only one I use.

Aleve has proven to be the best product for me. It is the most effective, longest lasting pain reliever I've found. I'm a healthy person so I can't say how well it works for arthritis or chronic back pain, but I can say from experience that it's the best for common ailments like headaches and cramps. Where other drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol) fail for tough pain, Aleve works.

The doctor told me to take it for bursitis. Now only did it help immediately, but it also helped my chronic lower back problem. I am very impressed.

Aleve is an excellent pain reliever. Whenever I have a back ache or headache I'll just pop in about 3 aleve pills and I am fine about an hour later. Very helpful.

BE VERY CAUTIOUS !!!!!! Although Aleve may work well for some, I have a for instance where it was nearly FATAL!! My mother was at work and she was having a headache so one of her friends offered her an Aleve. Lucky for her she was at work around a lot of people. Her friend noticed she was feeling ill and had no energy after taking the Aleve. By the time she had went 15 minutes from work to the hospital her heart rate had dropped to nothing and her bp(blood pressure) was 20/50. The doctors pronounced her dead upon arrival but they gave her adrenaline and recessitated her. Imagine if she were by herself? BE CAREFUL !!!!!!

I recently twisted my knee and probably did some slight ligament damage. Before I took two Aleve I was barely able to bend my knee which had some slight swelling. After I took it the pain subsided in 1/2 hour and was completly gone in 1.5 hours. The relief lasted all day. The effect is quickened if you have a cup of coffee within an hour of taking the pills. Worked better than any other non-prescription pain reliever that I have ever taken.

I recently tried Aleve for the first time about a month ago. Not only did it take my headache pain away faster than Advil or Tylenol, it also kept it away a lot longer--at least twice as long. I am definitely sticking with Aleve from now on.
CastleBee 03/14/2001
Got rid of the pain, but made me feel really shaky and light headed. Didn't seem worth the risk of the bad reaction when several other pain relievers (Advil, Tylenol, Excederin) work as well.
consingirl 01/15/2001
When I have headaches or back problems, this is the pill I refer to. It takes a while for it to work, but when it gets going there is no stopping it. It doesn't last all day like I hope, but I don't have to take as many as I would Advil.

I've been using it for a long time. It's stronger than any other pain killers that I've taken. It also helps when you have cramps, which is really important.
Liques 01/09/2001
Excellent. I get incredible tension headaches and I use this at all times!
Weiwong 01/09/2001
Really relieves pain. It is long lasting. I can feel the pain decrease after taking it. I like it because I only have to take it once for pain relief.
princessdrea 01/08/2001
This makes you feel no pain. Whether it be from cramps, working out, muscle aches, whatever. This stuff works, plus it works for 6-8 hours at a time with one pill.
Hops 11/26/2000
I feel it has a somewhat short term activity period, it is also limited in its uses.
Mahler 11/08/2000
This pain reliever works much better than Tylenol. It actually works. I don't use pain relievers often but Aleve gets rid of my headache faster and lasts longer than Tylenol.
STFE13 11/01/2000
Aleve doesn't last as long as they say it does on the commercials. It also left me with a slightly upset stomach. All in all I would recommend Tylenol or Asprin.
DALE9831om 08/16/2000
I just recently used Aleve. It was okay, but didn't really get rid of the headache, but made me feel a little better.
bell9781et 08/14/2000
Works all day long and you don't have to worry about it wearing off. I need to take it on a full stomach though.

This has been the best medicine for my PMS!

Aleve works best for all pain problems.
lina1550et 11/24/1999
Aleve is a life saver. It's the only thing that relieves menstrual cramps and is over the counter, not by prescription. The others need too many pills to do the job.
sigm1209om 11/15/1999
Aleve kills pain quickly. It lasts a long time.
WBOO309OM 10/26/1999
Alleve works right away, and you only need 2 for all day pain relief. Even helps with migrain headaches. Girlfriend even uses it for period cramps, works better than Mydol.
