working4shoes 55 Posted July 24, 2012 Anyone having issues going to the bathroom? I'm almost 4 weeks out and have had horrible Constipation. Painful! . What do you take to help relieve the symptoms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elvislover 14 Posted July 24, 2012 I used Walgreens generic women's laxative. It worked that night and the next morning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
working4shoes 55 Posted July 24, 2012 I've tried Miralax, mineral oil and col aide. It's compacted and had to use a suppository. ( sorry too much info). I just don't want to go through this every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berniec 166 Posted July 24, 2012 First are you drinking enough Water? If so try stool softeners. I didn't have a regular BMW for like two months. I'm three months post op and now it's regular. Before surgery I went at least 2-3 times a day. After surgery I didnt go for days at a time. Now I'm like once a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
working4shoes 55 Posted July 24, 2012 I'm getting about 50 oz of Water sometimes more per day. This is my 2nd chance, had a revision. First time I didn't have issues like this. I'm taking a stool softener every night..... Doesn't seem to help much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berniec 166 Posted July 24, 2012 Maybe you need a laxative to get you started. I know it's so uncomfortable. Sometimes if I'm feeling irregular I will take one ducolax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
working4shoes 55 Posted July 24, 2012 I haven't tried that one yet. I will get some tomorrow! Thanks for the suggestion! 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
