I am quite ignorant on the stent subject. I am reading about it. Just a few days ago the cardiologist, pulmonary specialist put in three stents (9/6/18) I am now on blood thinners Xarelto 20 mg one time a day.. Most of the pain in my legs are gone but where the stents were placed are still quite painfull when I move. It has only beem 4 days now it is 9/9/18. And where did the horrible constipation come from? Any guidence on this proceedure of mine will be VERY, VERY HELPFUL. Thank you all. Peach

peach414144 Sorry Peach your going through this . I don't know anything a bout stints my by pass was grafted veins from my leg. I was sore but Dr. told me to expect but gave me 800 mg Ibuprofen for a while then downgraded it .. Hope you feel better each day I,ll keep you in my prayers. blessing to you

@peach414144 Two things I know about Stents and Constipation. For constipation ust the Walmart Equate generic of Miralax, Clearlax. Constipation, amother other things, is caused by various forms of Amyloidosis. Oh, and eat a bit helping of grits and eggs every day or two. Stents, Just take them as they come. I have had 24 placed. Twenty four. Now I am down to about 16 after I lost some to CABG. On doc put in 14 in one procedure. Saved my life.
