Hello all,
I'm a mid-thirties female with multiple (36+) knee surgeries. Currently my left leg is in a straight leg brace. I'm on a heavy dose of opiate pain relievers (MS Contin, Percocet) as I have recently had a surgery.
I have had a small external hemmoroid since my pregnancy 12 years ago. During my recovery from surgeries I've dealt with constipation & large stools.
This past Sunday I had a bowel movement with medium-sized round rabbit poop (yes, I'm using medical terms lol). It was painful, but I was able to manually help get the poop started. I believe that I was VERY backed-up.
Today (Wednesday) I am dealing with a MASSIVE lump of poop that needs to come out - but seriously I have tried to manually help it as well as warm water enema & saline enema. I am trying to break up the large lump. After the enemas I have uncontrollable cramps that cause me to urinate & the enema liquid comes out - very little feces if any at all comes out.
My biggest issue is that prolonged sitting on toilet causes extreme pain for my knee. I also have extreme pain in my anus/rectum. When the cramps hit I reflexively want to hold back my bm because of massive pain. I've just taken a dose of MiraLax in hot tea which will hopefully help break up the mass.
Please let me know if you have any ideas, I'm truly at a loss. I need to break up this mass if I am to have any hope of recovery.
