Hi there,
just looking for some reassurance.
I have had constipation since this summer. This was preceded by pelvic and back pain which I thought was caused by copper coil. I have had the coil removed but it hasn’t helped. I’ve tried al sorts of laxatives that the GP recommended but none of them are amazing. My pelvic pain is not that common now, it’s more the back pain and the right side flank, front and back. Pretty much constant. Bloating as well which I suppose is caused by constipation. I was in prucalopride for the month which was the most effective and the bloating went down then.
I had some IBS-y type pains on the right hand side before, probably two episodes that lasted a few months, going as back as 10 years, but have been fine since. Bloods fine, stool sample fine - referred to refractory IBS clinic.
I am 45.
Has anyone had anything similar?
