@bkatz43 Hi Beth. Some spine issues can cause constipation because of nerve or spinal cord compression. If you're in good shape now with your spine since your surgery, another reason for constipation can be low thyroid function which is very common. It also will depress your appetite. That may be worth a discussion with your primary care doctor.

Thank you, Jennifer! I have had complete blood panels taken a few times in the past few months. Thyroid is good. I wish it were the case. Appreciate your comment to me!
