Hi.
Thanks for your query.

With so many of the varied problems, all at the same time namely - spondilitis in lower thorax and neck bowel problems eye problems knees ankles and several frozen shoulders, I would suggest you to consult a Specialist Doctor called Rheumatologist for proper investigations and treatment.
Yes, Naproxen is known to give all the abdominal / stomach upset problems.
If so, ask your Doctors to prescribe you something else, there are so many other medicines that can help you equally.
At the same time you need a special treatment for the stress and the anxiety that you surely have and this will help you the most.
I find this answer helpful
