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.
