Hey
As you can prob see i posted earlier in absolute agony.
I think i got constipated through meds( have not been for 3 days). I want to know other peoples symtoms of constipation? I have been doubled up in pain like my colon is trying burst.
I have had tests no diverticulitus or anything so just wanted to know can a bout of constipation be this painful as i do not know if this is what it is.
I had it the other week.omg! 9 hours! It was like giving birth..only through the back passage.i just wanted to die!
Oh missymo i feel ur pain....
This is awful!!!
I was fine till 2 oclock this afternoon,hadnt eaten anything strange or anything but i havent had a descent poo for about 3 days due to pain meds.
All of a sudden i was doubled over with the sharpest pain in my left lower groin area that felt like my colon was bursting.
I was doubled up for 4 hours sweating and nearly fainting.. eventually i pooped and the pain went abit... then it built up again and i went to poo again and it went again.
Now im fine as i think i have emptied my bowel after 3 days.
Is this normal
Yes I get this .... have you tried magnesium citrate. Its helps me but I had one phase which was 6 almost 6 weeks. That was not something I care to repeat. Funny that it always effects left side .... I wanted to die from pain in that area in January. Your not alone ... and you have my deep sympathy!!
Oh my god the pain.... im pretty hardcore pain wise but this is awful i was actually doubled up on floor sweating my husband thought i was dying....
It is awful.
Then i realised i had not pooped properly( rabbit dropping coz the cocodamol) so i thought i know what that is... im bloody constipated.
So i got the lactulose out and a banana and a litre bottle of water and i literally falsed myself whilst lying there dying( was not a pretty picture) then about hour later BOOM!!! About a weeks worth in 8 hours!!!
Yep, that sounds about right ... and then the fatigue. Only to start again on the next cycle. Miserable. Smile on the empty days.
Yep i had to have day off work as i feel so drained and my left side actually hurts like feels bruised where it was obviously sat in there days.
I feel traumatised every time this happens! Lucky enough im alway at home
When i get this major pain coz if i was out id literally b doubled up in shop or airport could b embarrassing explaining “ oh no dont call ambulance i just need a poop”!!!
I need to get back on top of a routine coz i was goin 2-3 times a day and i had no pain for months but those pain meds have messed me up.
I am currently at home on sofa watching daytime tv in pjs with a hot water bottle but hey im EMPTY
I hadn't been since last Monday and it was beginning to feel so painful and make me feel quite unwell. I was also preventing myself from eating anything and just sticking to drinks.
Last night I decided to pull out the bottle of Lactulose and had double the recommended dose. Despite really bad pains and cramping last night I did manage to go this morning. Can't believe I can get happy about a bm 
See if you can get some at the local chemist. I was prescribed it by my GP as I do go through times like this. It's very painful. Wishing you all the best x
Hi Lulububs, I have replied to your post in detail before about taking magnesium citrate or oxide. Have you tried that? It is the best natural option for me.
Yes sorry pat.
Im in a laying on the sofa watching daytime tv stupor!!!
I actually had a day off work sick.
Yes i do take magnesium citrate 100mg 3x a day and generally work a treat but i have been on codeine meds last two weeks for a shoulder injury and it has totally messed With my stomach and yesterday i paid for it big time.
Constipation is possibly worse
Pain ive ever felt and i had to have a Dislocated arm put back in without pain meds
Advise is OK but follow your mind & thoughts - 3 years of pain - The family still dont understand !!
100mg is not enough. It does nothing for me. Take about 600mg to 800mg once at night on empty stomach with lots of water. That will definitely work.
Oh i didnt know that i thought 300mg was daily intake i didnt wana over do it . I have started to lactulose and i have had 8 💩today i think i may have had alot of back up!!!
Im only 8st and a size 8 i didnt think i had that much poop inside lol?? I dont eat that much.
Yeh those codeine tablet really did number on me ...
Can i ask u all when u have constipation BADLY do u get major paim in left groin like ur colon goin to burst?and the backache!!!
Then whole next couple days u feel like u got muscular pain all in left side front and back
Have you thought of trying glycerin suppositories or a Micralax mini-enema?
I think the best advice is to drink as much water as you can. I started to do this and it has really helped me a lot.Good luck.😶
Yeh i have been , i think i let things slip in that department of late as i had a injury and i kept popping pills and forgot about what happens with codeine!
I am back on the magnesium tablets 500mg a day, 2.5 litre water and a gulp of lactulose before bed and that has defo got things moving !!!
I must remember i have ibs d and when anything else is goin on it still the thing i have to keep on top of coz 2 weeks of hardly any poop is not wander i was in agony
severe constipation 
Constipation is a pain
slow transit constipation
