Lower Back Pain

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pontypridd, UK

***Update*** All my bloods back to normal. Still in pain 😟. MRI beginning of April but with this terrible virus, I very much doubt that will happen. So I will just get on with it in the confines of my own home. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Constipation With Narcotics

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I would welcome any suggestions to deal with constipation. Before I used to take 40 mg of Oxycocet and my body could handle that. Now I am taking 6 mg of Hydromorphone twice per day. Today I took some Lactulose, but I am still waiting for it to take effect, it is a strong laxative, that a Doctor should know that you are taking, but it takes a while to work.
I don't want to take laxatives regularly, so any suggestions are welcome.
Thanking everyone for their assistance, in advance.

Has Anyone Had Their Tailbone Removed? (Coccyxectomy?)

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Eden, NY

I'm planning on having my tailbone removed soon, but I'd feel better if I could get some feedback from someone who has had it done or from someone who can somehow relate to the pain I'm having. This is the history of the problem:

I have had tailbone pain for 20-25 years. At first, I didn't know why it hurt, and I was actually told by a doctor at some point that it may have had something to do with a lumbar laminectomy (large scar; wasn't allowed to sit for nearly 2 months; still have low back… read more
