Naproxen
"I have severe back problems. I also have arthritis.  The doctors kept giving me narcotics so I felt like a zombie all the time. and hated it.  I decided to try some Aleve.  It eased the pain enough that I can actually go out and do things I did before the back problems. No worries about being too drowsy to drive.  Not everyone can take this and you should ask your doctor before taking it.  I was an emergency room nurse for 20 years and I never had a patient with an allergic reaction to this type of medication but it can happen.  The most common side effect is stomach problems so don't take it on an empty stomach."
