I took aleve (naproxen) about 2 days ago for back pain. since then i have been experiencing pulsating stomach cramps/pain consistently. am i ok?

Probably ok: Aleve (naproxen) can cause serious irritation to the lining of the stomach. If this does not begin to improve soon, then you may want to schedule an evaluation. However, the irritation should begin to heal soon and symptoms will resolve. If you have chronic heartburn as well, a "ppi" might be warranted. For now, avoid nsaids. In the future, use cautiously and only on full stomach.
