Hi, Thank you for your question. Although Aleve (contains naproxen) is an over the counter medicine that
suggests its low toxicity, but any long-term usage requires consultation of a doctor. However, pain-killers
like Aleve provide good symptomatic relief and one can feel energetic, but taking such medicines for longer
run is neither beneficial nor a permanent cure. In addition, I want to let you know that these kinds of
symptoms are not unusual during post-menopausal age. Multiple joints pain is a typical symptom of
post-menopausal osteoporosis and requires complete evaluation. Other common symptoms are- decreased fertility,
vaginal dryness, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings etc. Plus, body’s strength decreases with age
progression and if you are overdoing any exercises this may also lead to muscle loss with subsequent body
pains. This needs a consultation of a doctor who would like to investigate CPK (creatinine phosphokinase)
enzyme level that increases with muscle injury/loss. Hence it is recommended that you slow down your exercise
level and consult a doctor for further approach. Hope this helps. Please do keep us posted in case of
additional health doubts. Take Care !!!
