If you have a tight muscle then the ointment should help to loosen things up, increasing blood flow and helping with healing. Try using it 20 minutes before a BM to make it easier to go. If you're so constipated that you're only going every 2 days then perhaps you could try a stimulant laxative like Senna. It's only meant to be used short term though, unlike miralax which can be used longer. Or maybe you can increase your miralax dose until you are more mobile. Whatever you do, it would be best to not go every 2 days and have to strain. It won't help with reducing the pain.
