My lower back is so sore I can't sleep. The pain is almost immediately relieved when I go number two..

It's still sore but that does help. Anyone anyone?????

That has happened to me before. Absolutely possible that the constipation is causing you pain. Are you taking fiber or anything to relieve the constipation?

Yes I am I take different kinds of laxatives about.... 3 times a week?? Or so. I've been going more than once a day for months. I had an X ray a few months ago that showed my intestines completely full. I was really surprised because I go so often! I don't u derstand!!

HI, have you ever done an enema?

Also, how are you doing today? is your belly feeling any better? I hope so :)

My belly is feeling better. I was terrified for no reason. The pain of having something forcefully removed from your uterus is nothing compared to what I already live with on a daily basis I guess!!

I don't think I could ever do an enema!!

Well, I am not sure if you should at this point, but they are supposed to help with detox and constipation. Again, not saying you should, but if you did you could start with a small amount of water and only for a few minutes.

Maybe you could ask your doctor?

Ya he said he sees this a lot in patients and it usually clears up with treatment. I just always want a quick fix!! My personality really gets in the way sometimes lol. Nothing about having these infections is fast. I get easily frustrated about it.

This won't help with the constipation, but sometimes when I get back pain caused by constipation I rotate a heating pad between my back and belly (usually my belly hurts to). But I usually lay on the heating pad (if it is not too hot). I also kind of give myself a back massage. I wrap my hands around my sides and back and starting from the mid back push down towards my butt. Sometimes this helps for quick relief in the moment. A warm bath sometimes helps too. But again these are only quick fixes and short lived fixes. I used to go two weeks without a bowel movement and by the end of the two weeks I was in a significant amount of pain and these three things helped. I also had to drink a fiber powder and a prescription strength laxative powder every morning. I am so glad I don't have to do that anymore! Hope you feel better!
