It should not do any lasting damage. Do limit to the dose recommended by your doctor. Aleve can cause stomach upset. Regular aerobic exercise may help with your back pain. Exercise strong enough to induce sweating will improve muscle strength and flexibility. It may take up to 3 months so see the full effect. Wish you good health!

You should be fine. This is not a toxic dose. It's best not taken on an empty stomach, however.
