I had ankle reconstruction surgery a few years ago and after being on opiods for early recovery they moved me to Naprosyn which is prescription strength aleve. It was great. No side effects and it controlled the pain well, even when I started PT after 10 weeks in a cast. I honestly hadn't heard anyone talk of this and didn't remember having patients on it but I really liked it. Much easier on the stomach than ibuproferon and the effect was stronger too.
