Hello I have been reading CureZone Forums for about a week now and decided to join this morning. I am suffering with SEVERE Constipation!!!!! It started back in late 2006 after I took some pain meds for bad menstrual cramps. I took them for about a few months when I noticed I was getting constipated. I stopped taking them but the effects havent went away. The constipation has only gotten worse over time:(. I've tried so many things and nothing has worked. I cant go at all now without a laxative and it always feels like there is something stuck in there blocking and it wont all come out. I think its been ages since I had a decent bowel movement. Does it sound like I've developed a bowel impaction? If so what do you think I should do about it? Any advice will be very greatly appreciated!!!! I feel so lost and helpless!!!! I'm taking Oxypowder right now but I dont think its working good. I started yesterday with the recommended four pills and only had one BM. I feel really bloated and miserable:(. I just want to have decent bowel movements again. Not even everyday. I'd be happy with going only like three times a week. I was never one to go several times a day or even everyday but I did go at least a few times a week. How I miss those days:(. Anyway, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
