Constipation: Bed-ridden patients are prone to constipation. Extreme constipation can be quite painful. So if it has been a while since a nice large bowel movement. Think constipation. Consider an enema or laxative. In some cases adding MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) to diet may help alleviate the symptoms.
