Constipation !! I require pain pills. Problem is, the constipation makes pain radiate down both legs…?
This problem has become so bad that I absolutely minimize eating solids. All I really do is drink milk. None the less, the every third day, I get <constipated> and the pain it causes is immense. I can barely move my legs until I am able to remove the constipation (I’ll be as kind to spare You these details). ANYWAY, one Doctor hypothesized it’s the build up of you-know-what, possibly somewhere in by ascending or transverse colon, that goes and pushes up against something, that pushes another thing, which ultimately pushes into my sciatic nerve. The sciatic, incidentally, is one of the biggest nerves You got and if You saw it in a dissection, it’s quite thick and visible. Thus, a very important and vulnerable nerve.
I’d like to hear back from anyone who has experienced a similar problem with constipation leading to such severe pain (sciatica) that it stops You from walking or standing up for that matter.
I hate pain pills, but I can’t seem to escape them for my osteoarthritis problems I must live with.
Thank You Sincerely for Your answer, if You care to venture sharing Your experience. Sincerely, <Kraken>

CUT BACK on the milk, it can cause you to be consitapated. It happens to my daughter all the time. Start drinking some juice. White grape juice, prune juice, apple juice are all good for helping loosing someone up.
I would speak to a Dr. because they can give you a special type of liquid to drink to help your system clean itself out and keep you regular. If that doesnt work then they may need to take a different step. Normally they do not want you to stay that backed up for over a month, as it can cause you medical problems.
If it is causing you to have pains down your legs then somewhere your bowels are already pushing against nerves..
Colace works very well, and it’s not that hard on your system. Buy the generic, it works just as well.
well you got to treat constipation to get rid of the pain,there is some alternative medications for that like try using castor oil just one teaspoon before you go to sleep , drink milk with honey , apple is good and also try to move and walk and if you can exercises .
TO HELP WITH CONSTIPATION, YOU HAVE LOTS OF OVER THE COUNTER STUFF TO HELP. SENNA TABS ARE A NATURAL VEGETABLE LAXATIVE. DRINKING HALF A BOTTLE OF MAGNESIUM CITRATE HELPS. THE BAD THING ABOUT PAIN PILLS IS IT IS CONSTIPATING. PRUNE JUICE AND MILK OF MAG IS GOOD ALSO. TAKING A COLACE TWICE A DAY EVERYDAY HELPS IT STAY SOFT. TRY SOME FIBER ALSOLIKE BENEFIBER, METAMUCIL.
