QQ & Possibly a bit TMI - Does anyone here use voltarol pain killers?

Hi, yes, strong painkillers can cause stomach upsets - both ways. To name but a few side effects. Of course not everyone gets side effects, but then some people get a whole host.

This might be of some help http://www.tiscali.co.uk/lifestyle/healthfitness/health_advice/netdoctor/archive/100002791_2.html

Thank you - the bottom dropping out of my world I can cope with, but because of surgery complications (which cause the pain!) I have to avoid anything [1940s mum icon] binding!

I use them but havent noticed being particularly constispated tbh...

Hope you get it sorted though as I can imagine its a very unpleasant feeling when you have pain like you do...

I was going to say I had them post-section and had no problems but I did have a few - though no idea if that came from the voltarol or not. Suspect the standard post-birth man poo more of a problem than the painkillers. It's definitely a problem with codeine though.

Could ask a pharmacist?

I have used them in the past without feeling constipated.

[through a mouthful of dutch salt liquorice] Thanks everyone - have stuck with the codeine for now [swigs fybogel]
