Comment:
Found its so much easier to take one of this per day. As opposed to taking more then one/two per day every/any other OTC NSAID out there. Now, just wish that it comes in PM form as well. Because for the time being I'm taking something else for that. In which its one per night. As opposed to taking one to two per night.

Comment:
I took Aleve for knee inflammation. It did nothing for the pain but had to take it with food and worst of all it caused severe insomnia followed by crushing depression.

Comment:
Aleve is amazing, took 1 pill ( it didn't kick in for me for hours, though) took all my knee pain and hip pain away, and still is even after 24 hours. I would try 1 pill at first, no need for me to take 2. Worked out today for 2 hours, just like old times.
