Does Naprosyn weaken muscles?

I was prescribed the anti-inflammatory drug, Naprosyn, to relieve muscle pain for my injury. I usually allow things to heal on the their own, rather than taking drugs, as it is a more natural approach (I've never even tries tylenol or gravol or anything of that sort). Now I have to go back to work, so taking the Naprosyn tomorrow morning will be my only option.
My doctor said that it relaxes muscles - is it possible that the weakening of muscles might be one of the side effects?
Has anyone ever taken it? (or any type of strong, anti-inflammatory)

Answers:
Naprosyn is strictly an aniti-inflammatory, inhibiting the release of chemicals that mediate the inflammation process. It does not relax, nor weaken the muscles. A muscle relaxer, such as flexeril, can cause muscle relaxation and weakness because it decreases the excitability of the nerves that innervate the muscles.

The most common side effects of anit-inflammatories are stomach upset and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Naprosyn is an NSAID - Non-Steroidal Anti-Infammatory Drug. It does not cause any muscle weakness, however, if this is a concern you should consult your physician.
No, my SO lifts weights, he takes Naprosyn every day for years. And he is maxing out a lot of the machines at the gym where we work out.
I take them all the time for my back problem
All it is is an anti inflamatory same as aleeve but prescription strength..
Weakening muscles is not a side effect that i know of
Naprosyn is basically a prescription strength version of Alleve.

I've taken it before and had no effects.
