Aleve is naproxen, isn't it? How many mg are the OTC ones? The one that worked very well for me is Diclofenac, I found a bottle with 14 of them in the back of my medicine cabinet, but of course the refill date had long since expired.
diclofenac is really rough on the stomach- I can't even take one without getting stomach pain
I think aleve is 200 mg naproxen. so youd have to take two to come close to a prescription dosage.
