I had lumbar laminectomy with fusion, stayed in hospital overnight. Went home had excruciating pain when getting up and down from sitting or getting up from bed.

Three days later I couldn't take it any longer as I could not stand without screaming. So Thanksgiving was cut short, off I go. They told me I had fluid build up and that I had a leak and needed a blood patch and a drain pouch to drain the excess fluid out of my back.

All in all I am doing ok but was wondering why I can't poop. i had to do an enema of molasass and milk. It cleaned me out. Now i am worried that I may need another one as it has been six days without a bowel movement.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
