"I've been on a variety of pain meds since 2006 from a 92# tree limb falling on me and had become quite impacted and constipated because of them. After years of trying many, many different kinds of laxatives and eating plenty of fruits, my doctor finally asked me today (while refilling my Medtronic morphine pump) if I had ever tried this injection. He gave me a sample and told me to be close to a toilet, so I just now gave myself the injection, now that I'm home. So far, the only thing I'm feeling is activity in my stomach as if things will be happening soon... no bad cramps, headache, sweats... just motion in my stomach. It started almost immediately, and now half an hour has passed and I am still waiting... Will keep you posted..."

"I wasn't sure about taking this medication and if it would work, but after giving it time, I saw a big change. I made the right choice and would recommend it."

"So the first dose didn't do a single thing but make me have gas so bad my back was killing me! Just did my second dose, so I am hoping and praying this works! I'm on the fence about this product."

"I've been going on and off opiates for around 8 years since my chronic pain began. I would go off the medicines to get relief from the horrible constipation they caused. A few years ago, I discovered that I was constipated even when I would go off the medicines, so I must have messed something up by using laxatives for so long. I tried the subcutaneous Relistor that I had been desperately waiting for for years, and unfortunately, it didn't help."
