Constipation, Have Back Pain, Numbness An Pain In Legs, Frequent Migraines With Temple Pains. Is It Due To Hard Stools?
Hello I m a 34 year old female diagnose with fibro , diverticulitis about 4 yrs ago my problem right now I ve dealt with constipation for years my right side back started hurting yesterday really now my right leg is numb and hurts.. Could this be due to constipation are something else I suffer from migraines also and then last one I had 2 days ago was only on my right side and my temple area still hurts I m sorry it long
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The pain in the back and numbness in the leg is not related to diverticulitis or migraine. It seems like a nerve compression by a displaced intervertebral disc or another structure. I would suggest you see a general physician as soon as possible who can examine you and refer you to an orthopaedician if required.
Till then, please avoid forward bending and lifting heavy weights. Use a hard mattress and maintain a proper posture throughout.
Hope this helps
Regards
