Question: I am XXXX, My father in law is about 82 years old. He wad an active man. About 15 days back he developed a prob of back pain. Tje pain is at where out spinal cord ends im the back. Initially he took voveran sr but it didnt help much. Coupled with this he has irregular bowl clearing and loss of appetite. In last 10 days we got his cbc sugar createnine and blood urea done. Except sugar everything was fine. He still has loss of appetite and passes stool sometimes once in 3 days. Can you suggest any medicine for this bowl clearing so that his appetite can improve?

Hello
Thanks for your reply and the medicines u have suggested. There is something else which I want to tell u. The sympoms which still persists are
1. Back pain- we got a waist Xray done. Do said might be possible slip disc.
2. Less strength in legs feels as if he will fall down. Length of step he takes while walking is 50mm approx. He swets a lot at times. Can this be because of hypoglycimia? As sugar level keeps around 90 to 100 at 7 o clock evening. His med was reduced to 0.5 diapride instead of 1 very recently. We got a CT scan head to rule out any possible paralytic attack. The report was fine. I will send u the same.

3. Another unexplained symptom is loss of appetite
and irregular bowel. Can low appetite be a result of hypoglycia? I think his diabetis medicine type and dose needs to be adjusted.

He does not have any other symptoms like fever etc. Rather all his CBC reports were normal. I know slip disc can be a big problem but can his appetite and bowel irregularity improve? Please suggest.

XXXX
