Category — Constipation-Medication

I had ingual (sp) hernia surgery yesterday, on my right side. I was wondering what some normal complaints are, and/or what I should go back to the doctor about?

I’ve experianced swelling and numbness around the area of the sugery. A little sick to my stumach here and there, but thats probably from constipation from the medication? (I am on vicodin.) There is pain but I figure that’s to be expected.

Any information/concerns would be greatly apprecaited, please.

Thanks.

My hubby’s blood pressure meds really destroy his digestive track. He takes Amodium-D to help with the diarrhea, but it has it’s limits. The diarrhea is a consistant side-effect of all blood pressure medications, so nothing thus far is out there that he can switch to.

I’m trying to find a natural - NON CHEMICAL - way of aiding in normalizing his digestive track.

Any suggestions please & thanks!!

I have tried eating fruits, but it doesn’t seem to work. So, is there any medication I can take daily to induce me to do #2 or would they be too damaging? On another forum a parent gave her children a softener daily so she could go to the bathroom to avoid constipation.
PS I get constipated

i need to know how serious this is…i tried everything ……water fruits fibers medications and some weird ass tubes i stuck in my anus….i dont know wat to do…so can someone help me know whats going on…and should igoto the doctor?

oh maybee fat burning pills caused it..? i been taking them for 3 weeks..but had no trouble at thebeginng?
oh n i do was my anus after pooping…no wiping for me….!

I have been dealing with mild IBS for a while now. I’ll typically be regular (every other day) for like a week and then I won’t go for like four days in a row or something. Then I’ll get blocked up again, and then I’ll go back to being regular. It is really annoying because it causes abdominal discomfort. I drink plenty of water, try to get exercise, and try to eat 15-20 something grams of fiber daily. The fiber tends to make me gassy and bloated, but I eat it because I assume it helps move things along. I have taken ex lax a few times over the past year, but it is way too strong, and I know it is bad to take regularly because it weakens your intestinal muscles. Is there something I can eat or take daily (food, supplement, medication) that is mild and won’t weaken my digestive system?

I am 23 years old and lately Ive been having a bad painful problem with constipation…The last BM was really painful and caused me to bleed which was i think on Wednesday of last week. I got kind of scared today cause i realized its been almost a week since a BM so i bought a box of ex-lax chocolates and took a half at 2pm, another half at 4pm and its now close to 2am and still have not had a BM, only a little gas. I just took another whole one so hopefully this will help out by tomorrow. I am on two medications right now Suboxone (To help with pain killer addiction) and Desipramine (ADHD and depression). Ive been on suboxone for about 3 months and over the past month have gone down to taking on 4mg a day after starting on 16mg a day. I know any kind of pain killer or anything associated causes constipation but its never been this bad and like i said im only on 4mg of Sub a day now. I dont have medical insurance so if this exlax doesnt work im really going to be scared. What should I do? Im freaking out here!!

Also known as Magnesium Citrate. I received it from the hospital for my pretty serious constipation. I was told to take it with anything clear. The nurse also told me i can use clear soda like sprite. When i took it, it was supposed to clean me out, and it didn’t really work. Did using the soda instead of water make the medicine not work?
Im already aware of all this, i was just asking if using soda might have made the medicine not work. or does it make a difference to use water or soda.

Hello, this is a serious question, so no jokes please!

Off and on for awhile now I’ve been experiencing bad constipation.
I’ve gone to the doctors many many times for this problem. They give me a prescription for laxatives and a couple times Ive had an enema. It helps only for the time being. I’ve always eaten healthy, and drank lots of water. I was pretty confused as to why I kept getting constipation. Anyways, I was talking to my fiance and he asked me if I ever had worms, and worms can occur in anymore. So I went to the bathroom and (this is gross but I had to) checked my feces. To my surprise I found worms in my feces! I was so freaked out. But he told me it can happen to anyone and people live there whole lives not even knowing they have them! Anyways, I’m gong to get some medication for myself today to get rid of them. But I wanted to know, can constipation cause Extreme fatigue?? I hate that fatigue feeling, I feel so drained and tired suddenly throughout the day, as well as cramps, I get such bad cramps, which would make sense to me cause I’m all blocked up, and only have really small bowel movements.
Anyways, it’d be great if you could help me out, Thanks!

Out of diarrhea, constipation, motion sickness, or hemorrhoids, select 2 conditions that you (or a family member) has had. What caused the conditions? What medications did you take for the conditions? What were the actions of the medications? Did they treat the conditions? (Explain

I’ve had it for about 2 days, I feel like I have to go and when I do try, nothing comes out. It hurts pretty bad and I can feel it in my bottom. Without medications, is there anything I can eat/drink to get it out? I’m going on a car ride soon and out to eat and I want to feel comfortable w/o squirming. This might change my plans.
