I have always been constipated about 11 months ago,I had a hystorectomy for problems during that time of the month and I would have alot of back pain but would feel better after a bowel movement. Then after the hystorectomy I felt better for a few good months,I have seizure and take seizure meds,but have had the same meds for alot 13 years except for one new one Tranxene, It was the only thing we found to contol my seizures, and I have been taking this for 7 months and had it increased about 4 months ago and have had no seizures. then about 4 months ago my back would hurt really back and as I had a bowel movement it felt better, then My back just always hurt and I could not go to the bathroom for 4 days and so I went to the ER which a CT scan showed I had 4 bulging disk in my low spine and an xray of bowel shoed stool and gas trapped, they began to give me Magnesium citrate and that worked to clean me out, but 4 days later I was blocked up again,it has been this was for 2 months and I now have to depend on a laxative to help me have a bowel movement. I had a colonoscopy done which turned out normal and I eat alot of high fiber foods, such as Raisin bran,oatmeal,brown rice, I take fiber but nothing helps, does anyone else have this problem and have they found an answer? Thanks Traci
