How Can Chronic Constipation Be Treated?
Having trouble with constipation for past 3 weeks. Nothing moving except when taking exlax or smooth move tea. Pain started under left rib cage 1.5 weeks ago when sitting. Moving helps but becomes painful when sitting again. Tingling in left arm and hand. No sharp pains, just dull pain. Food does not bother it.
