"Following a ruptured lumbar disc, I was unable to have a bowel movement without laxatives until after my surgery. Every day I used stool softeners and fiber supplements. Tried a more gentle powder you mix with water. After 7 days (every time) with no bowel motion (BM), I tried 2 Dulcolax tabs, which usually produces several hours of explosions. 8 hours later, still nothing, so I took a Dulcolax suppository. Almost instantly, I began having severe cramps, like labor pain. Also nauseated. After about 30 minutes, the sweating began. I was drenched, lying on the bathroom floor. My husband had to bring me a dry top twice. Over the next 2 1/2 hours, I alternated between lying on the floor and sitting on the toilet, praying for a bowel movement. I was shivering uncomfortably. Finally, the labor pains started lessening, and then the explosions started. After about 5 hours, I was finally feeling better."
