A member asked:

Can gas and constipation cause pain near kidneys or hip area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The colon runs like a border around the outer edge of the abdomen. If the constipation is causing significant pain you could try using Miralax (polyethylene glycol) (OTC) and a stool softener to treat the constipation.
