I am 61, 105 lbs, ehlers danlos and sarciodosis in the chest - recently a two week episode causing severe pain the the lower back due to two upslips, sacrum shifted in off position and lower vertibrate subluxed. it has been corrected every other day - and in this time period, needed help with pain so have been using ketamine trouche. only .5mg. I have now had issues with the bowels barely moving despite using my myralax (sp?) I am wondering if the bowels could be shutting down from the meds or could it be from the severe pain in lower back and down the right leg with the siatica pain?
Complete bed rest for a certain period of time is the initial mode of treatment in low back pain. Pain can be controlled by medication, exercise, weight reduction, lifestyle modification etc. take paracetamol 1 gm twice or thrice daily as required initially for some days.
