Other ways: To offset the pain should be explored because 3 Aleve could be on track to irritate your stomach lining and ulcer creation if this becomes a habit. Other maneuvers: alternate nsaid with tylenol (acetaminophen) (keep under 1-2 grams per day), use the pain relievers very early to get maximum effects, stay away from cigarettes and cut down on caffeine, use warm compresses or a heating pad on your back, and try warm baths. Regular exercise. Consult with your ob/gyn for further recommendations.
