Brief Answer: Yes. It will settle in time. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. After a surgery and anaesthesia the minor problems that she is having are common. The back pain can be due to muscle stiffness. Doing a hot fomentation applying local analgesic gels and taking oral muscle relaxants will help her. For constipation you can get some laxatives prescribed from her treating doctor. This should subside in next 2-3 weeks. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal.
