back pain
"Herniated disc T4 and narrowing of spinal column in my neck. Over last few years I have suffered from flare ups of back pain which spread throughout the spine and into other joints and this has deteriorated after the herniated disc. I am guessing this is a type of arthritis.

The good news is naproxen works well and quickly and settles everything down within 1 to 2 days.  I don't like to keep taking it but after a week or two the pain returns and I need the drugs again and I am starting to think the pain is returning quicker and more severe to the extent that I may be more and more reliant?

However, 18 months after the herniated disc and thinking I might not walk properly again I'm running again and pain free on the drugs."
