Suggest Treatment For Opiate Induced Constipation And Back Pain Caused After Spinal Surgery
How do you treat opiate induced constipation? I have tried Anetiza, Docolus tabs, and Metamucil daily and still remain constipated, I have chronic back pain from unsuccessful spinal surgery and nothing I take really helps. I am thinking about spinal stimulator - what do you think about this?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the constipation then drink more water, have fiber drink if the cause of constipation is known and it is due to opiate then better to stop this, else you wont be able to come out of this hope this information helps.
