"Living" with prostate cancer.

Strangely enough my wife was prescribed Naproxyn about two years ago for pain relief for stomach adhesion's due to "womens" surgery decades ago.

Anyway after being on the drug for about 4 months she started to experience quite serious bowel pain and bouts of vomiting plus having issues with her balance and general wellness.

Ended up having the old camera on a flexi-pipe down her throat and similar with endoscopy, Barium meal and some scans. Finally having to have a narrow tube inserted in her stomach via her nose to monitor her acid production over a 24 hour period at home with a recorder attached to the wires inside the tube.

In the end an extended course of Lansoprazole and other drugs were needed to fix her all this being attributed to having taken Naproxyn.
