Constipation: Definitely sounds like you have constipation related to the oxycodone. Whenever you are on a narcotic, you'll need a laxative to help you stool. I recommend docosate sodium via prescription or magnesium to bowel tolerance (i.e. Until you get the quality of stools you want). Start with 500mg/night and double every night until you achieve the stools you want. You should be stooling 1-2x per day.
