I hope (eventually) to have my hip fixed. And although I'm in pain a lot which impedes me from doing many (necessary) things, I am taking the naproxen after a while of not taking it. So I've been trying to read more about it, and I have so far none of the side effects the experts are talking about. My aunt is 95 and has been taking naproxen every day for decades. I don't think the naproxen has adversely affected her...she has other problems.
