Hello. i took 500mg of naproxen two hours ago for a muscle/joint injury contracted in the gym. however, the naproxen isn't having much effect. can i take one (or two) tablets of diclofenac sodium 50 mg now to alleviate pain or should i wait until the nap

Alternate w/Tylenol: Take naproxen and if not effective after a couple hours, take Tylenol (acetaminophen). Using naproxen and diclofenac after two hours will increase the risk of stomach irritation.
