Can taking Vicodin for an extended period of time cause constipation or sluggish bowel movements?
My mom has started taking this medication for neck pain and has had these symptoms. She believes that it is from the nerve problems in her neck and I think that it is the medication. I had severe problems after i had a tumor removed from my spinal cord and I believe that is why she thinks the nerves could be the problem. What do you think? Thanks.
A family member had herniated disk causing nerve damage to bowel and bladder nerves?
This family member has numbness in genitals and buttocks and places on thighs. His herniated disk broke off and interrupted nerve pathways. Had emergency surgery. Still has numbness and can't feel if he has to urinate. Dr. not sure if nerve pathways will return. Dr. says too early to tell if functions will not return, or partial or full recovery. Anyone experience this and have any suggestions to help him recover bladder, bowel, and sexual function?
