I've never taken naproxen but you need to find out how long 'too long' actually is. Doctors say these things without clarifying what they mean. You need to pin them down!

I was on them for a few years. I had a really bad infection in my wrist and they took me off them because Naproxen can make infections linger. All drugs unfortunately have side effects.
