How Effective Is Aleve For Knee Pain?
I take Aleve for knee pain that flairs up when I exercise. Aleve seems to help that discomfort; however, tonight at Exercise class I noticed bleeding spots under the skin around ankles. Do you think it is the Aleve. I am taking 2 or 3 a day. Too much?????? 72 year old female.

Hello. Yes this could be from the Aleve and it can happen with any nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medications (NSAIDS). Nothing too serious, though, as long as the Aleve isn't upsetting your stomach
