Opioids Need help with opiate induced constipation

Hello everyone,

I am in a bit of a pickle at this very moment. I have a difficult time with opiate induced constipation, and had a very painful bowel movement about 4 days ago, which I believe may have given me a slight fissure. This is not the first time, and so I have been pounding back the Miralax since that occurance, which always seems to help.

Problem is, I have to go, and the monster inside of me right now is (I believe) pre-Miralax... aka. a fucking boulder. I am terrified of passing this, and what it will do to my poor behind.

So... my question is, what is the safest and most painless way I can get this sucker out? I have actually quit opiates (6 month every day heavy PST habit), and so this is fortunately the final harrah of morphine/codeine/etc giving me an internal beating. Once this comes out, It will be smooth sailing on the road to recovery.

I know about the opiate constipation thread, but I couldn't find my answer there: The thing is already in my lower-intestines/colon, and is big and dry, so I am wondering if I can loosen it up before passing it. I keep hearing about enemas, but have never used one... will that prevent me from dying over the toilet?

I really, REALLY appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks in advance.
 
Obtain some enemas and get ready for some discomfort. Try to retain them as long as possible. Good to hear you are stepping down your Pod usage. Are you currently experiencing WDs? In my case WD's pretty much removed everything from my bowels, granted it wasn't fun but there sure were no longer any boulders.
 
MILK OF MAGNESIA, the only solution. Its a wonderfully effective medicine.

The only effective one i've found after a lot of trial and error. I believe im allowed to source medicines - i thinik theyve stopped producing this in the UK for some mad reason. Easily available on ebay and amazon tho.

If youve got a rock hard golf ball or something that not gonna move you may have to resort to manual extraction (i'll leave that to your imagination), or go th ER and ask them to do the dirty work. That probably a better idea than using plastic knives like i did lol. It did eventually chop off enough of the turtles' head so it was eventually possible after at least 30 minutes straining until i thought I'd burst the veins in my forehead to pass that huge rock. The relief is the greatest feeling, but when you look at the result its like a rabbit dropping or something.:o . ConstIpation can kill you if it last a long time....

once you get plenty MOM in your system your stools became a hundred times softer and easier to pass. Never had any problems after MOM.

[MOM can you send that £50 for a decent shill effort straight to my NW account please.]

(JOKE- I'm not really a shill. I've never shilled for anyone)
