Health Complications

So I had shoulder surgery back in November and since then have had some very odd health issues, such as occasional constipation since surgery and I've never been constipated in my life, weird things along those lines. Is there a correlation with my overall health because of my recent shoulder surgery?

Are you on pain medication that can cause constipation.

Hope your healing wee after your shoulder surgery. The pain medication is causing your constipation. It's an opite and it's causes your digestive system to slow down. Hope this helps.
