What Causes Chronic Constipation And Back Pain?

I've been constipated for the past two to three days. I have the urge to go, but when I tried it hurt so much, I ended up standing in and pulling/pushing it back into myself. At this point, I still need to go (Pretty bad, too), but now I'm basically holding it inside myself because I'm so scared of the pain. I started taking a stool softener yesterday hoping that would help. Other things that are happening: My legs feel weak and are rather sore, and last night I was experiencing some back pain. Now, to top it all off, my period has started, and I have no way of blocking the flow. Please help?!

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation. I recommend using over the counter option like Miralax. I also recommend using daily probiotics. I suggest you use a fibre-rich diet and drink liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
