General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear,
I have gone through your question and I can understand your concern.
I think you have acute gastritis due to use of naproxen for a long-term relief of back pain. In such cases, I do recommend to my patients Ranitidine 150 mg twice daily, 30 minutes before the meals. If you have severe stomache pain and vomiting that persists you should see your doctor or go to ER. Muscle relaxants like diazepam (Valium) and baclofen (Lioresal) may be helpful to relief of back spasms.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
