Brief Answer:
The cramps may be side effects of surgery you had

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

About the constipation I can say you should change your diet eating more fiber rich food, fruits and vegetables, drinking more water.
Also you can use laxatives such sena leaves to help you with constipation.
Cramps and muscle spasms you are having may be are related to the lower back operation you had wrist and left elbow.
Possibly the nerves in lower back and hands are compromised from surgery you had.
You should talk to a neurologist about it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
