Constipation: If you are in that much discomfort, I would advise trying one of the various over the counter laxatives that are available such as sennosides, bisacodyl, and/or Miralax (polyethylene glycol) powder (2 cupfuls twice a day in any drink) which often works fairly quickly. A bottle of magnesium citrate if none of that helps. I hope you are also keeping yourself hydrated with water as well as that may also help.
