Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory medication. It works when you have some sort of swelling. Right now I'm taking it for TMJ. I only took one pill yesterday after I went to the doctor and the discomfort has gone down a lot. It helps with arthritis, too.. The only thing about it is that it can mess up your stomach. I would eat something and then take it.

Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory pain med available over the counter. It is similiar to aspirin and ibuprofen but kind of like a step above either of those. It is used for pain and inflammation etc. You can buy it wherever the pain meds are sold in a store.
