Hi maco100

I am so gneuinely sorry to read this and it could be caused by quite a few different things. I would personally get a second opinion and talk to a different doctor about this my friend?

It could be instigated by Sciatica, whereby the nerve is being compressed. It could be related to a different condition called ''Coccydynia,'' again pressure related? You could have a ''fissure?'' Or it could be simply muscle strains? As I say, it could be caused by so many different conditions that it needs to be checked out thoroughly by a good doctor?

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi, hope you're ok.... my doctor (s) were the same, and after 4 years of being made tobfeel like an idiot, I left and changed doctors... I'm going for an MRI scan today on my spine.. this was granted within 4 weeks! Don't put up with your doctors if you are suffering - change them. They are there to help, and clearly in our case, they're not doing their job... go and find your answers. Xx

I'm really interested to read this because no one seems to think anything about what happens to me.

I think it's Tramadol and poss paracetamol that cause me to become so constipated - even though I've cut back Tramadol.

About every six weeks or maybe less I become constipated. Out of nowhere I get a pain in my lower back which is crippling - literally. It goes on for 2-3 days, I can't take senna as it caused me a serious bleed. I cannot walk, cannot sit in any position to relieve it, not even laying down. After I move bowels it takes around a day and half to ease my back.

I've also had the pains going down the tops of my legs each time.

Bananas and coffee usually do the trick.

Hi I think its the tramadol what does it to me but I'm on other meds to. I have also cut down on the tramadol and take a max of 4 a day they don't do me any good I just take them because I'm addicted to them. But as ken said it could be sciatica probably pushing on a trapped nerve. Just waiting for doctors appointment now. Take care. Maco100

Hi maco100, while you wait to find the actual problem and hopefully a solution, you might consider trying acupuncture. It can give a great relief from pain and other issues, like the sadness you feel over this pain and a better balance to your entire body.
