Q: is naproxen a good otc to take for bone or muscle pain if so how many milograms ?

: If it helps you, yes. Only way to know is to try. For dosing need you weight. I always start at lowest dose and go up slowly. AKA start low and go slow. And take good notes so you and Dr. can tell if it is helping.
