Dear M.I.: Naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve) is an anti-inflammatory medicine. Many of these medicines cause fluid retention and ankle swelling. You pretty much proved that the medicine was the cause of your swelling, since the swelling left when you stopped it. You really shouldn't treat yourself with anti-inflammatory medicines for extended periods of time.
