My doctor told me to take aleve (naproxen) for shoulder pain (or any pain). is it ok to take aleve (naproxen) on a daily basis? if not, how often is ok or too much?

Aleve (naproxen): No more than 15 days per month. A recent study suggested patients taking Naproxen (aleve) for an extended period of time might also have a greater incidence of a cardiovascular event.
