The past two nights I have woken up in the middle of the night with intense cramping, back pain and…

Use the stool softener it’s a life saver

I felt like this when I was constipated. I took some prune juice to help me go.

Now I’ve been adding 5 dried dates with my breakfast every morning, and it’s helped keep me regular.

But I feel like I have been regular & when I go it’s not hard.

Maybe just try the stool softener to see if that helps, and if it doesn’t you can tell the dr you tried it with no relief?

I think that’s what I’ll do. I’m just over thinking it, thinking something is wrong.

@sara672014, yeah I think your overthinking this one. I never had problems going until the last 3 weeks. I think we’re just losing more room, and we think we’re going, but not totally getting it all out. 🤣 That’s where the discomfort comes from.

That could be it! I just stopped at the store and got some so we will see how this works. She told me to take 100mg twice a day along with Tylenol hopefully it’s going to help!

@sara672014, I hope you get some relief. If you are just backed up, you’ll know, but feel so much better. When I was cramping bad it really worried me too. I didn’t even think constipation until I texted my friend and told her what was going on, and she said even though I was still kind of going try prune juice. Maybe about 6 hours later it started working, and man I felt so much better. Just like that the cramps went away too. 🤣
