What Would Cause Constipation, Hiccups And Heartburn On The 4th Day Post Knee Replacement?

default
Posted on Fri, 15 Nov 2019
Question: 4th day post knee replacement and I have constipation, hiccups and heartburn. What is going on? With the anaesthesia and the pain killers, I understand the constipation, although I am taking 2 sennocides (sp?) at 325 mg per day, but the constant hiccups and heartburn in addition to the bloating and uncomfortableness is disconcerting.
