A member asked:

I have leg and knee pain quite regularly. i usually take aleve and it helps. i don't know why i keep having it. at what point should i see a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Knee and leg pain : Good question. Aleve does not cure problems it only reduces the inflammation from an issue. Sound like you should see a doctor in person.
