Check with your doc: You will need a direct exam by your doctor to find out what is wrong with you. At the least, you need to get the bowel moving again perhaps with the aid of a suppository or laxative.

Suppository: If you have lower abdominal discomfort and a strong urge to defecate but can't, try inserting a glycerin rectal suppository as a lubricant. If this fails, a gentle fleets enema may help. Otherwise you should be checked by your pcp.
