Aleve/Naproxen: Naproxen should be taken two times a day. So yes, that is a little too much. I would stick with Tylenol for pain or try local measures.

Naproxen: Naproxen 500 mg by mouth twice a day should be the max dose add Tylenol for breakthrough pain but see your MD for a full exam and possibly more imaging please. You should get on cymbalta for your chronic pain do not take narcotics for breakthrough.
