ok heres my question in a nutshell. ive never had a problem going to the bathroom before in my life. yesterday when attempting to go number 2 i simply could not get it out, when i attempt to force it out it hurts and just feels blocked. i take it this would mean i am constipated. i am having the same problem now for the second day, do you think a stimulant laxative/stool softener combination will solve this problem. it is very uncomfortable! thanks for responding asap. ps i think the reason for this is a medication i am taking (oxycontin) probably mixed with lack of sufficient fluids. if that helps any in offering me a quick solution to this

Yes, you can try a laxative and/or stool softener. Also start drinking plenty of fluids. Increase your fiber intake as well. Don't push, as this will cause hemorrhoids.

Once you start to have a bowel movement, you should be fine, but continue the water and fiber.

Reply to Lindie's Post: i am having bowel movements i just cant get it out. its like it just cant come out even though i feel the need for it to do so.

I guess I am confused, your original question states: "could not get it out"

now you are saying you are having bowel movements that do come out?

Or you just have the urge to go, but the stool is not coming out?

Reply to Lindie's Post: yea, the urge is there, its like ready to come out but i cant get it out because it feels too big and it also is painful. sorry for the confusion. i have taken some laxatives we'll see how that works. im gettin cramps as well

Cramps will happen when you are constipated. You can apply a heating pad to the area where the pain is, it will help some. Do start drinking some water though, and if you have a stool softener, do take that too, as it will help with getting the stool out. I know the urge is there, but try to relax the best you can, this will help prevent any anal tears as well.

Best of luck Hun. If you need anything else, just ask. Please do leave me feedback after clicking accept as I will do the same.

Thanks Hun
