See a doctor: I know it can be embarrassing to talk about poop, but go see a doctor and discuss your chronic constipation. Chronic straining can cause hemorrhoids, fissures, and other anal problems you don't want. Your doctor or a GI specialist can work with you to get a regimen that will keep you "going" without trouble. Keep seeing the doctor until you're better - it's a long process, but don't give up.
