Back pain and constipation
Common Questions and Answers about Back pain and constipation
pain
m sorry to say, it is most likely constipation. Any type of pain that moves around and comes and goes is usually related to the gastrointestinal tract. One of the very best things for constipation is LOTS of water. Try drinking 2-3 liters per day. Also, Miralax is safe and effective. It won't hurt a baby if you are pregnant.
Good luck!
Try a warm bath and you can take tylonol for the back pain. But the back pain and cramping are totally normal. Just as long as you are not bleeding you should be fine. I get the horrible period like cramps though where Im doubled over because they hurt so bad and I can normally tag it to constipation pretty quickly. Its very common in pregnancy. Water will help with that too. Good luck to you.
s helped tremendously, but when I stand or walk for long periods of time I have more pain. Am concerned about the pain in the abdomen and if it could be related to the back pain. One doctor told me it could affect the stomach since the nerves in the back area could be causing the front area to hurt. Thank you for any help you can provide.
I have been having trouble with constipation and gas. As well as pain in my ribs and back that feels as it is caused by gas. I also have this problem of food regurgitating up to an hour or two post meal. Just got diagnosed from the mayo clinic with rumination syndrome which is related to the gas trapped in my stomach that causes pain and then to burp more then normal when it finally releases.

At the beginning of August, I was awoken with pain in my lower right quadrant, that continued to get worse until I went to the ER early that afternoon, and by the time I saw the doctor, the pain had spread to my upper left quadrant, and radiated around to my back. The doctor I saw thought I may have a kidney stone or a ruptured ovarian cyst, and sent me home to rest with some pain medication.
At first it stemmed from my neck, shoulders, and upper back. Soon after I started to feel pain in my chest, both sides right by my armpits, lower back, and abdomen area especially on my right side. The pain is usually sharp. When I do sit for a long period of time, both my right and left sides hurt but more on my right. Recently I had diarrhea for three days straight and then feeling constipated.
For severe constipation, I've found that magnesium citrate is the best laxative out there (can be found over the counter). For the gas problems you can try gas-x (also over the counter). However, you should find a new GI doctor that will take you seriously.
I was told by my doctor that she was just leaning toward constipation, but I would think the pain would be more of my abdomen and not just pain under my rib cage that radiates to my back. I have thought about the pain being caused by appendicitis, because it just feels like something is just going to explode. I have mentioned in a comment to another member that this pain has been since September and my doctor at the VA is making it so hard for me.
I'm having my first child and I'm having bad lower back pain...I'm only 5 weeks so is this normal???
can constipation cause awful back pain? what about a pinched nerve in back causing constipation? the symptoms seem to be getting better but im still worried. thanks.
d like to add that I have had lower back pain(feels like an organ or some thing and not muscle on the inside) and constipation since I had the small light brown dishcharge. I have also felt real lowe on energy, no matter how much I eat, or even what super foods I eat aren't replenishing my energy, and lately I've had to really push myself to get up and continue my exercise routine lately... my husband and had unprotected intercourse (I know slightly tmi, but...) durning my period...
Hi everyone. I'm 13+5 weeks pregnant. I have really bad back ache and my tummy hurts too. It's not cramping it just aches. Does anyone else have this?
had some lower abdominal pain. constipation which got resolveds with a stool softener, lots of fluids, and prayer. had constipation for well over a week. woke up this morning with pressure and pain in right shoulder blade and when i tried to take a deeper breath, it hurt in the upper right abdomin. have had lots of belching and some gas. saw a doctor last friday and was checked for vaginal ultrasound monday.
but i took something which you disolve in water to relieve constipation and it seems to be ok now. in terms of the back pain, i do exercise frequently but havnt really been doing anything different..and i do stand up alot at work and wear quite flat shoes...so perhaps this could be causing my back pain? as you can see im quite confused..
