Hi,
Naproxyn is an analgesic working for any pain of musculo-scletal system.
So it should work for both condition.
Important is to know cause of pain and then appropriate treatment.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region and hip joint for any degenerative changes.
Go for back extension exercises daily.
Take calcium and vitamin d supplements.
For pain you can take ibuprofen,paracetamol or Diclophenac, paracetamol combination medicine if naproxyn is not giving relief.
Ok and take care.
