My daughter taking naproxin for joint pain/ possible jra. how long before we notice a difference!? if this don't work what are other meds ?

See rhemstologist: There are other drugs available but they best be administered by a rheumatologist, because of their long term needs and side effects.

Get proper treatment: Naproxen can help best with joint pain if given scheduled (twice daily every day with food)with some relief within a few doses but it does not treat true juvenile arthritis at all.To put the disease to sleep, your child should get weekly low dose Methotrexate injections under the skin and a tnf inhibitor(enbrel, remicade, (infliximab) humira)that will control arthritis in almost all kids.Naproxen is not enough.
