Question 6

having some lower back pain after trying to pass hard stool. changing diet to fix that. anyway could i have caused damage or just muscle strain? its achy. hoping i didnt skip a disc?

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess: Patients who complain of constipation usually don't say they have bad back pain that comes with it. Thus, it would be a good idea to get a primary care doctor's evaluation to see if something else is going on with the back. One should write down details of symptoms, such as when back pain occurs (is it only during pushing out stool, is it only after pooping, or only before pooping, etc...).

Question 7

i have a burning sensation muscles spasm under my left ribs also suffer from constipation. how can i cure this?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You can try over-the-counter antacids for heartburn and stool softeners +/- fiber in your diet for constipation. If this is a new problem that did not happen before, or if it is not releived easily by above suggestions, please contact your doctor.

Question 9

can pelvic floor muscles get weak and make constipation ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Drs view the pelvic floor muscles as the sling that prevents you from leaking poo or pee. It is not as important as the intestinal muscles in constipation.The circular tube of large intestine has donut like circular muscles that help push stool along.If you fail to empty what you make the backup can balloon the intestine wall & make it weak. Empty daily more than u make & it can rehab itself.

Question 10

pelvic pain, got muscle relaxers, now constipation. laxative?

Accepted Answer

There are several: There are several types of laxatives.  Colase is simply a stool softener but may not be adequate for your purposes.  The next level up is MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) which works by drawing water into the bowel.  Avoid the more harsh laxatives such as Ex-Lax and Dulcolax which can cause permanent damage to the bowel if over-used.
