Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain While With Fibromyalgia
Question: I am 78 yr. and recovering from a hip break surgery. I also have fibromyalgia that I take Cymbalta 120mg per day. I usually take Aleve for discomfort however my caregiver got me a substitute - Naproxen Sodium made by Equate.
I had a horrible night with no pain relief, body hot and little sleep.
Should I continue with the Equate or demand the Aleve gel caps.
