A member asked:

How effective is naproxen (aleve) for treating tennis elbow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Lateral epicondylitis is modestly helped by the antiinflammatory and pain relieving properties of NSAIDs but the whole program consists of rest from inciting activities and can include ice, ultrasound, a sling , steroid injection and rarely surgical release. But rest from inciting activity is very important
