Hi all,
My CRS put me on diltiazem last week as I suffered horrid side effects with rectogesic last time I tried using a cream. I have been using it the diltiazem for about 11 days now and the last few days have become completely constipated. Nothing else in my routine has changed - two sachets of movicol a day (one in the morning, one in the evening), a 7km walk each day, roughly 30g of fibre in my diet and at least 3.5L of fluid a day, etc. so I am more than a tad suspicious it is due to the diltiazem. Has anyone else had this experience? (I'm also not really sure the cream is helping at all. I haven't noticed any improvement at all since starting, in fact the pain seems to be slightly worse if anything. Really wondering if it is worth using....)
