Hello,
I am going through bad constipation. It has gotten worse this week since I started my Humira injections (4 doses). I have been taking stool softners daily for about two weeks. I get the urge to go to the bathroom but very little comes out. I have a very large hemrrhoid (as a result I assume) which is probably is making things worse. My colonoscopy also showed a possible bowel obstruction, which might or might not be affecting this. Unfortunately the MRI for that is not for another two months.
I am considering taking 1 sachet of Pico-Salx to help give me relief, however, I have only used this as a prep for my colonoscopy, and I am unsure if there is any danger if I used this for relief (nor regularly but just to get me through this episode). Any one have any insight into this?
I would ask my doctor but it is very difficult to get a hold of him. I was suppossed to have an appointment with him next week after my second Humira does, but the secretary won't put me in for anohter 6 weeks, so unfortunately I have no qualified medical person to help me until I see him.
about me: 42 years old, Crhon's suffer for 20 years. Currently on Humira (initial dose) and 6MP 75mg. Previous meds include Remicade, Flagyl, Cipro, Prednisone, Salofalk, Asacol, Sulfazeine(?).
Thank you,
