So I'm having a problem. What else is new?
This all started in December before the docs discovered the hernia, but basically, I couldn't go. I was always very regular before, and then it was suddenly 9 days and I hadn't had a BM and that's around the time I landed in the hospital. It took awhile, but after the second stay in the hospital, things finally started moving again, and now...nothing, AGAIN.
I've been taking extra fiber (benefiber), drinking water, trying anything to get myself going again, but NOTHING is working. If I want to have a BM, I usually have to take a suppository and then it is still VERY painful and straining. They weren't able to find an obstruction the second time around in the hospital, but nonetheless, things aren't going anywhere.
I've now been waiting patiently since Monday for something to happen and I'm starting to be driven nuts and very uncomfortable and unhappy. If it isn't an obstruction and I was already regular before, and nothing has changed in my diet except trying to increase my fiber and water since being out of the hospital, what the hell gives??
