Magnesium

Or laxative based suppositories.

It's not funny, according to District Nurse.
You need to go to hospital if it persists.

I find eating an orange or a couple of clementines in the evening helps me. Prunes are good too and be sure to drink plenty of water.

On a serious note OP, don’t strain at the loo, it will lead to further complications.

Prunes are your friends. Lots of them!

pickled gerkins are quite good at getting things moving

I hope my tale of woe will make you laugh - but a change to my normal medication means I haven't been able to poo for three days now!

My eyes are almost popping out from the straining!

Please can everyone wish me good luck that one day I can finally "go" !!!
