On wednesday i hade arthroscopic knee surgery. I got it injured from playing years of football and lacrosse.

I had general anesthesia for the surgery of course and then after i was on 2MG Dilaudid.

My doctor prescribed me 5mg of oxycodone for the pain outside the hospital.

Is there anything i can do for the constipation besides stop taking the pain medication?
 
I feel your pain Mcohall. Like bambooshoot said, drink plenty of fluids and eat figs. I've also tried prune juice which can work pretty well too. The thing that always allows me to free myself of that... burden... is to drink some strong coffee. After fifteen minutes I feel about 10 lb's lighter.
 
Make sure you drink a lot of water if your taking a laxative. I used to take ducolax when I had a problem with oxycodone.
 
Also try to take a dump before you take any opiates that day so you don't keep building it up. I have never been in so much pain in my entire life from what opiate constipation has caused me.

Not much besides what everyone one else has said. Usually if you get on a set schedule, your body can figure it out eventually.

I take long acting morphine so I always shit in the morning after coffee, but the rest of the day am plugged up. I also don't take the morphine until after I take that shit.
 
Coffee, fibre, cannabis, glycerine/mineral oil (or foods containing same), plenty of fluids, avoid excessively "dense" foods and calcium/magnesium antacids.
 
coffee and a smoke. lol

magnesium works on a regular basis and bisacodyl for when you really need to go. I'm pretty clogged up right now, no fun at all.
 
if it's bad, my md has me drink a bottle of mag citrate and fleets ...just make sure you will be near a restroom for about 24hrs lol. Like, one you can get to within 5 seconds :)
 
One word: Muesli.

I tried everything and nothing worked until this.

On Suboxone I used to be so constipated I wouldn't shit for like well over a week. When I finally did go it was always so fucking huge that it took some hard work to flush.

One time whilst at uni it even poked its head out of the lid. I left it there for the next person, lol.

But yeah muesli and especially all-bran keeps you regular no matter what.

Don't use laxatives as it's only a short-term solution, you will shit well for a week but then end up more constipated than the Arabian desert.

it's a far cry from harm reduction, but this is how I usually evacuate my back door.

Another slightly strange thing that I've found to help, is to sit in a warm bath with your legs spread.

haha... I hope you get out of the tub before letting er' go though .
 
When I'm constipated I mix some glycerin with warm water in a 500mL plastic bottle and squeeze it in my ass and hold it there for a little while. Moments later it feels like all my organs are shitting out of me brain included LOL
