Arrogant patients that turn to the Internet for medical advice when they don't like the advice their doctors gave them because it interferes with their vacation plans are equally frustrating and dangerous.

don't act like you would not have a concern in the world when you just spent thousands of dollars to go on a vacation that is completely nonrefundable and you injured your knee about 8 weeks prior.
i think anyone would be a bit worried about what is wrong and how long it will take to feel better.

If you want your knee to actually heal, rather then just have it feel better while you take meds, I would tone it down a bit.

Yes, you have a couple of walking vacations planned, but you might want to figure out how to walk less and ride or swim more.

I think the OP is confused on this (or, just not listening). Not only is naproxen Aleve, but there are generic versions to be had in every Walmart, Target, and CVS in the country. Even if the OP needs a higher dose, she can talk to her doctor about possibly taking extra pills. I do NOT recommend doing this without an MD's approval, but my Dh did it with ibuprofen when he was having knee issues (with doctor's permission, of course).

OP, I would be doing everything possible NOW, to get in better shape for your trip. As others have said, Diamond Head might not be in the cards for you, but there are plenty of things to enjoy in Hawaii that are less demanding.

Yep.

My doc, at times, tells me to take 3200mg of Motrin in 24 hours. Without his go ahead, I won't take more than 2400mg.

Yep.
When my knee is acting up my doc tells me it's okay to take up to like 2800mg of Naproxen or something like that (I have it written down, it's dosed to my size so others' safe amounts may be different). It no different than taking the Rx strength.
