Had TT with MR 7 days ago. I have followed all my PS's instructions (colace 3 days before surgery) but am experiencing very painful cramps and sharp pains from constipation. By day 5, I tried smooth move tea, prunes, and even stimulant laxative. I cut way back on my Vicodin to just two per day. I'm getting scared that I have bowel obstruction or something. I was dry heaving last night from the cramps. I've always been regular before. Any advice?
