It has been 4 days without a bowel movement. I am in an insane amount of pain, and don't know what to do anymore. I can't move, can't bend, I can't do anything because of the pain and how distended my belly is.

Hmmm....You could do with asking for some peppermint or something to relieve some of the gas built up ..you need to poop today...Can they x ray your tummy and check your not impacted?

I know your feeling Knight as I went about a week of what you described. I used Magnesium Citrate (from Dollar General) and about 2 hours later it all broke loose. It even cleaned the back of my eyeballs!!! I hope you can find the right combination and get some relief very soon.

Good luck.

Crapped all over myself for a few days. Hang in there Knight.

They gave me so much laxatives: 4 senokots, two doses of milk of mag, my regular lactulose, and prune juice and now I can't stop pooping. I am so embarrassed because I had an accident during physical therapy today. I am so upset.

A bowel accident is one of the worst things that can happen! I hope that was the last of it!

It is a real juggling act when your bowel nerves are messed up. I hope things settle down today. You need a break!
