WOW, I am so glad that you had the guts to post this thread. I, too,
have similar troubles at times, and the medications for pain can make it
so much worse, as they tend to cause constipation. And, oh I'm sorry,
I've already forgotten who, mentioned the leg pain, I can SOOO relate to
that too. I've even wondered if I had something else going on causing
that! I wasn't for sure if it was related. I thought it was, but to
know that someone else has the same pain, makes me feel less afraid of
it.
