Beneficial: Naproxen or other NSAID's can help remove symptoms of neck pain and stiffness, but do not cure the underlying cause. Persistent or worsening neck pain, especially if associated with pain down arm or numbness and/or weakness does require medical attention.

See below: Neck pain usually comes from a degenerative joint or disc in the neck. Sometimes it's from a muscle strain or sprain. Early treatment options include a short course of nsaids (advil, aleve, (naproxen) Naproxen), gentle massage, moist heat, and focusing on posture. If pain lasts greater than 2 weeks see your physician.
