<s>[INST] How many Aleve can a person take in a 24 hour period. I have L4&L5 problems with my back. I have an appointment with a back specialist in 2 weeks, but the pain is severe. I have had 3 injections and none have relieved the pain for more than 3 days! I have Tylenol with codeine, Ultram and Naproxen. Nothing seems to work as fast or as well as the Aleve. Unfortunately, the Aleve wears off also. [/INST] Hello, I have studied your case. You can take maximum 4 alive in 24 hours. Ideally 2 or 3 times is recommended dosage. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. If MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution. Hope this answers your query.
