Lower back pain after enema series?

Howdy,

Does anyone else have lower back pain after an good enema series? I am asking about a two-quart SSE or two with good cramping and whatever retention I can manage, then a few 2-to-four quart Salt and Soda rinses also for a little retention, and then a couple of 1 quart or smaller retention coffee enemas?

I take my time with all of that, usually four or more hours, and move around a lot to drain.

A few hours after the series is done, I feel some dull pain in my lower back.

Anybody have any comments / advice?

Thanks,

Enema Chuck

Is it from the solution of straining on the toilet to expel or your position while taking the enema.

We need more information.

I'm sure this is not your problem, but after surviving a plane crash 14 years ago, I was on a lot of pain meds. In the hospital I was given stool softeners but they didn't really tell me what I was getting and I just took the pills. Once released to go home, I continued with the pills and a few days later had some pretty severe pains in my lower back, didn't make sense to me, thought it was from laying in a hospital bed. I spoke to an MD friend of mine and he suggested that I might be constipated. I realized I hadn't gone in days and considered the possibility. An enema was uncomfortable but I was able to get a couple quarts in and I had to go real bad. I barely made it to the toilet and did have an accident. The pain killers didn't help my coordination. I can remember it was like shitting rocks, and they were rock-hard. I normally took enemas often but this accident screwed up my schedule. Once the problem was diagnosed, didn't happen again, all of the plumbing was just running fine.

How long does your back pain last? I have to wonder of pressure on the intestines caused it, but it should have gone away -

the hoseman, was actually a hose dragger too

Have you experienced any kidney stones in the past?

Thanks for the responses and questions.

No kidney stones. MD says not kidney issues at all. Not on pain meds and only occasionally constipated.

Usually happens after an H2E series, not just a single or double filling.. May be caused by over-filling or trying to get the hose up into the colon, but sometimes happens with only rectal insertion and filling only into the descending colon. .

Position usually on my back either in the tub, on cushions on the floor, or on bed - all with legs resting comfortably raised. Sometimes in Sims or knee-chest, but position for filing does not seem to make a difference.

May expel into the tub or on the toilet. No weird positions for expulsion.

Improper position is a possibility. Knee-chest can become knee-neck and leave either the neck or back sore!

I have this pain too.

But think it May be due to the weight of water moving colon downward

Well, Charlie, that makes three of us!

I have no idea why it happens, but it does however only occasionally. I've tried to figure out what I did during the enema or expulsion to cause it...but to no avail! So, I've decided to take a couple of Tylenol and go about my day.

I just chalk it up to the "mystery of the enema"!

I have also had this type of lower back pain after a series of enemas, I feel like it might be the way you have to turn slightly and reach around for nozzle insertion, at least for me, but i defiantly agree with debgurl that its the mystery of the enema. I also just take a couple of Motrin and go about the day.

Thanks to all.... Glad to know I am not alone.

If you are not careful with positioning, you can twist your back.

Just throwing in a wild guess, maybe dehydration by repeating the added salt or coffee? I notice muscle pain more if I don't keep H2O up while exercising.

Just a thought, taking enemas, at least 2 qts. or more, you may let your abdominal muscles loosen and slack up a bit. Everything down there wants to hang forward of your C.G. (Center of Gravity) and puts a strain on your back. After an enema or two try sucking in your abs. and try to get that "washboard" effect.
