      3c, 24x , Opvido , last infusion mid dec.

       

      after having no symptoms for the year of infusion, after finishing  about 5 weeks ago I developed mild constipation with lower back pain and side pain and lower abdomen pain.

      it was so bad I went to urgent care. they took x-rays and blood and found nothing.

      the problem persists.

      anything to do with opvido?
