Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How serious is Aleve s effects on Iron levels in the blood? I ve been donating platelets for several years and have ostieo arthritis in most of my joints and have been taking Naproxen Sodium for the pain. When tested prior to donating my Iron levels are below 11. Does Aleve/Naproxen Sodium cause this deficiency?
Like most times it's not going to affect the normal physiology. Also, the Osteoarthritis of the knee is the degenerative changes which happen due to the ageing process. Doing exercises to improve muscle strength will be of good to improve the joint space and reduce joint compression and pain.
Usually, with exercise and proper medical advice, the osteoarthritis cases respond well with a better quality of life.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
