I would contact your GP or hospital sweetie and not leave it. I had the same trouble for 7 days after my bowel shave and had to have glycerine suppositories followed by a enema in hospital. Even then it was excruciating.

I'm on lactulose which is working ok mostly. A lady recommended a fibre supplement to me but I would take medical advice first. My physio booklet says to get a little footrest which pushes your knees up higher to get you in a better position can also help. I've been using my scales.

Good luck. Thinking of you. X
