Hi there
Sorry you are having these issues. It's really tough and can affect every part of your life.
I've tried Motegrity and initially thought it was a miracle pill after decades of trying all other prescriptions for severe constipation, distention and pelvic congestion, however it only worked for a week. I don't eliminate without taking Senna, stool softeners and Ducolax... and those are working only once a month now. I prefer not taking meds but have been I've tried it all; Enulose, MiraLAX, every magnesium, stool softeners, laxatives, pelvic therapy, prunes, kiwi's, epson salt baths, Tens unit. Drs are unable to tell me the cause or diagnosis and removal of the intestines is recommended (even a decade ago). No obstruction, Sitz market test showed scatter throughout intestines (100% markers still there after a week).
I'm curious - has anyone had successful results of May Thurner procedure (stents placed in iliac veins) and see any results of increased bowel movements? Wonder if the improve blood flow is a positive outcome for paralysis of the intestines and if the two conditions intersect.

Hi Kitchen,
I haven't had the May Thurner procedure but I've had the Mary Thurner procedure. My
back was sore for a week afterwards.
