?constipated: Having a bowel movement has a psychological aspect too.Use the bathroom when you are not pressured about time.You can try a daily dose of Miralax (polyethylene glycol) and increase your fiber intake too.Above all take your time.

You have commented that you are not weight bearing and is this a chronic neurologic condition or temporary post procedure condition. Are you on any narcotic or anticholinergic meds.
