Should I Continue Taking Aleve For Pain In My Neck And Back?
I m 64 years old and have been suffering with pain in my neck and upper back. I have limited mobility. I started taking Aleve 1 every 12 hours and have found relief. I have tried to go off them but the pain comes back with a vengence. Now I m afraid I m addicted to them and wonder if I should cintinue taking them.
