horrible constipation!

Okay, so fair warning, this will be a bit graphic. I have been having very small, hard stool about every 3 days since I left the hospital. I thought nothing of it since I haven't been eating much. Well now I'm impacted. As in I seriously have a large amount of stool that is dry and stuck in my rectum. I have tried to dig it out with lube, have done an enema, took stool softners and Miralax. It is the most painful thing I've ever experienced. Please someone give me some advice. What do I do? I'm at the point on the toilet that I'm almost passing out. Break out in a sweat, chille, shaking, lightheadedness, and the pain...oh god.

Go to urgent care and they will loosen the impaction so that you can allow it all to pass. Its embarrasing but they do it quickly and you'll feel so much better.

The best thing that you can do is go to the ER. The nurses there will be able to disimpact you. Good luck. Moving forward, you may want to add a stool softener to your medication regime.
