Every joint in your body is a complex combination of moving parts, each prone to disease or injury. It's not surprising that body aches and pains, particularly back pain, can occur.
Back Pain
Lower back pain affects millions of Americans, and can be acute (lasting from a few days to a few weeks) or chronic (lasting 3 months or more). Whether it's caused by a sudden injury or simply by long-term stress, acute back pain is almost always mechanical in nature-the result of trauma to the back or a disorder like arthritis. It can even radiate to other parts of the body, making day-to-day motion extremely difficult.
Knee Pain
Your knees support the weight of your body and provide stability as well as a "hinge" to help keep your body moving. But between standing, walking, running, jumping, crouching and turning, it's easy to see how there are plenty of ways to sustain injury. Whether you're suffering from arthritis or you've injured yourself, knee pain can be a serious obstacle to mobility. Knee pain can also be a cause of back pain.
Shoulder Pain
The reason so many people experience pain in their shoulders is the design of the joint itself. The shoulder joint is highly dependent on the surrounding muscles and ligaments to hold it in place. As a result, sprains, strains, dislocations, separations, tendinitis, torn rotator cuffs, fractures and arthritis can occur.
Aleve belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs work by temporarily blocking the body's production of naturally occurring chemicals called prostaglandins, which play a direct role in pain.
By inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins, NSAIDs can reduce pain and fever.
