What Causes Backache And Swelling In The Legs After A Colonoscopy?
My husband s back and legs have been increasing in pain. Along with the pain, he has become incontinent with his urine. The pain radiates down both legs. It wakes him from sleep often. His gait is a mere shuffle. At times, he cannot get in and out of bed without assistance. Difficulties getting in and out of bath tub, as he can not lift legs very well. Legs swell daily.His breathing is labored as he sleeps. It all began when he had a colonoscopy, and had a polyp removed.
