Hello,
As per our clinical experience, it is not the glycerine suppository that gives you back pain, but it is the passage of hard stools which gives pain. Additional intake of more liquids with high fiber diet, psyllium husk as per doctors advise will cover up the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
