Naproxen is brutal stuff. It's the most effective non-opioid painkiller I've tried (which is not saying much) but it's not up to dealing with chronic pain of any real significance (imo, ime, ymmv, etc, etc). Plus the fact it causes internal bleeding really very easily indeed. Pretty much as a matter of course, in fact. Needs to be taken with omeprazole or similar or it's just plain dangerous. If you can stomach it (literally) then good for you. I really can't though (I've had a stomach ulcer before and even two days on naproxen has me doubled up in agony even with omeprazole).
As for opioid painkillers not working after a while... yes and no. Some are worse than others for that. I'm currently on bupe for chronic pain and was on it for a couple or so years previously for opioid maintenance - I've never had to increase the dose to keep the analgesic effect effective.
As ever, YMMV, obviously.
