Aleve is a good drug for minor aches and pains. It may help with chronic low Back pain, depending on the severity. Stretching and walking every day is probably the best solution for low back pain.

Advil or Motrin (ibuprofen) and Aleve (naproxen) are anti-inflammatory drugs and work very well for back pain, if that pain is soft tissue related. There are a few drugs that can help with nerve pain, but these are by prescription only. Arthritis pain, mild to moderate pain, are treatable with ibuprophen or naproxen sodium, but good old fashioned aspirin or acetaminophen typically work better.

Is Advil okay for gout?

Tylenol will not cure the pain of gout. It's better to treat the cause of gout: perhaps get a prescription for Colchicine and make diet changes..but for pain you need an anti-inflammatory. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not an anti-inflammatory. There are some very good prescription Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatoriy Drugs (NSAIDS) or OTC NSAIDS like Aleve and Motrin. This is very painful and you may need something stronger until you can relieve the condition in your joint(s). Hopefully it will disappear and never come back. There are also specific medications for gout that your doctor can suggest.
