Q: is there a problem in taking a 500mg naproxen at 7am and then taking a 400mg etodolac tablet at 7pm for pain in back and legs [pinched nerve]
Do you find that these two medications work differently for your different problems? Many people take a variety of medications, depending on the kind of pain they experience and as long as you don't take them too close to each other, it's usually okay. However, keep in mind that those of us went to questions on the side are not medical professionals, but answer based on our own personal experience and whatever knowledge we've managed to pick up along the way. The doctor who prescribed these medications or your pharmacist will be the best judge of whether this is appropriate for you or if there may be a problem.
