Thesis: How can i relieve opiate constipation NOW?
used 40mg oxycodone daily for about 2 months - mild constipation.
moved up to 80mg/day oxycodone for about 2 months - moderate constipation.
for the last month used 100-120mg oxycodone daily, and the constipation has been getting increasingly worse; the last few days have been horrible. been using enemas and stool suppositories for almost every bowel movement over the last few months. used 8 stool suppositories last night in one sit down and was still horribly constipated. feels like there's this disgusting big thing stuck inside all the time right down around the tailbone, and moving it out is next to impossible, and even when some stool gets moved out it still feels like it's there, always, extremely agonizing. also feels a little bit warm down there, in a disgusting way, and like whatever is stuck in there is being sucked down towards the rectal opening, and pushing down and around the sides. its hard to describe the exact feeling its just miserable. like dry, slow, warm, disgusting, agonizing, impossible to relax with this going on. my colon and rectal area just feels sore and tight and miserable. its so bad because my rectal muscles were already messed up before started taking opiates. that's why i started taking them in the first place.
i've also been belching hot gas a lot. lots of gas coming out the rear too. in addition to the enemas and stool suppositories, been using colace, about 300mg daily, and metamusil or benefiber at not too high a dose. None of that seems to help.
WHAT CAN I DO????
PLEASE HELP. EVERY BOWEL MOVEMENT IS LIKE A TRIP TO HELL. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET IT ALL OUT EASIER AND FASTER AND THEN NOT WORRY ABOUT IT ANYMORE. PLEASE HELP.
Ps: ultimately the solution is to just get off of opiates when i can, but please don't suggest that now as it is unrealistic for me to be able to get off of them right now.
Thank you.
