A member asked:
Is there a connection between digestion, back pain and leg pain/weakness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: By far the most common connection is that a person will have back pain running down the leg, otherwise known as a sciatica, and medication will be used that can then cause nausea or constipation. Don't hesitate to be seen if you are having problems.
