A member asked:
Is taking naproxen 500mg twice a day for 2 weeks for moderate tailbone pain(caused by a trauma, but x ray shows no fracture) safe and effective ?

Probably: Always take this type of medicine (NSAID) with food as long term use has been associated with ulcers. Also find a good hands-on osteopath who can treat this with hands-n treatment. I prefer ones from the Cranial Academy because they have even more training so you can get some treatment. Otherwise you may pain off and on for years, with compensatory mechanics that cam also cause trouble.
