What Causes Wrist Pain After Taking Aleve?

I have just started taking Aleve to help with some of my RA and OA joint pains. After taking it last evening, I awoke with severely painful wrists. I can barely flex the wrists and I have very little strength when trying to lift something. Is this one of the rare adverse reactions to Aleve?
