Naproxen, like all NSAIDS, can cause bleeding. Celebrex, Advil all the same.  If taken with food, a must, or Tagamet, less chance of bleeding.  But if it is fibro probably won't help.  Omega 3 and D3 good antiinflammatories and might help.  My fibro is more of a deep burning pain, rather than muscle spasm feeling.  It won't show on scans or even bloods, except maybe inflammatory indicators.  Not sure, but a rheumatologist would be a very good choice.  Why do doctors have the gall to think we want to see them out of anything but real pain.  What a lack of compassion.

I'm so sorry you are having this CB and I imagine it is set off by your stress, but it is physical!!

Time will tell I suppose. Though not sure why I get it every so often. It's not like I have to do much gardening these days as it's all landscaped, pain just builds up over a few weeks, goes, then builds again. Maybe I'm just an oddball.

So sorry to hear this CB, bloody useless GP! 

If you take anything like naproxen you are usually given something like lansoprazole to counteract any stomach irritation.

Shame you didnt get to ask about the fibro possibility.  I would definitely be making another appt, with a different GP.

How is your little Grand daughter?  Hope she is becoming more stable.  My son was insulin dependent diabetic at 36 months and I had so much worry as to whether he was a sleep or too low glucose. It's so difficult and I feel so for all of you.  Remember though, he is now 44 and traveling the world in his job.
