HELP - constipation tmi warning
I have been constipated for 4-5 days. I've gone tiny tiny pieces, but I can feel the waste inside of me in my stomach just wanting to get out. I will sit on the toilet and nothing :( I've taken 2 doses of colace 2x a day as per my surgeon, ex lax tablets, a sugar free piece of chocolate, prune juice (the 50% less sugar kind), coffee, and milk of magnesia. Nothing. I called the doctor and they told me to try Miralax but I just feel like I've done it all. I can't even go to work because the pain in my belly is unbearable. When I do take something like the MoM or Prune Juice I get the feeling of having to go, and I get to the toilet and nothing but noise in my belly. So in a way its doing its job just not coming out.
HELP. Have any of you been here? What did you do?

This is coming as a nurse. You may have to manually remove the hardened stool to get things going again. Use LOTS of lube and Im sorry to say it but pull it out. The longer the stool sits in the intestinal track the harder it becomes. You can push but it wont move because it is so hard and becomes like a clog to the rectum.
After that start a regime of the stool softener, miralax and benefiber. Once you get your regime down it will help tremendously. I hope that helps.
