Hello all.
I've been taking Oxycodone IR 120mg daily for over two years for chronic pain and ever since I started taking them I've had shockingly bad constipation. I can go weeks without a bowl movement and it's really starting to effect my quality of life. I take a stool softener to keep things soft for when I eventually get a movement but the stool softener doesn't stimulate a bowl movement. I end up with a swollen abdomen as if I'm about to burst! Can anyone give me any advice on what I should do or take to improve things? Help much appreciated!
