So I'm pretty new here and this is my first post. I'm just 3 weeks out and today is the first time I've had a problem going to the bathroom. I'm scared. My body is telling me I need to have a BM. I just can't go. I had to leave work cause I hurt so bad. I just took my first dose of Milk of Mag. Hopefully I can get some relief soon. Doc's office says magnesium citrate as a last resort before going to hospital.
