postop constapation from drugs
by curiouskid85, May 22, 2006 12:00AM
i had surgery on the 16th. i'm taking ENDOCET 5-325 (6-8 a day. NO more than 8 a day... my mom's a nurse. she's watching out for me. we write down the drugs of how much i take and the time) and KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE (every 6 hours). i haven't gone #2 since tuesday. the opition of certain foods that will help me to go are out of the question. i had jaw surgery. i know its the combo of the drugs i'm on and all that mac and cheese i've been eating. i took a colace and a laxative yesterday. if those don't work, how long is too long? today is day 6.

You could try Senekot at bedtime... it's a rather mild laxative... although at this point it sounds like you're in need for some DYNAMITE! Dulcolax suppositories are good... and if worst comes to worst, use the fleet (By this we're talking Atomic Bomb!) Good luck!
