Mg Citrate: It's over the counter. It will help clear you out. Remember, you have 15-20 feet of bowel. May be a day or two before you are completely empty. Then, drink water, eat a pear, lettuce, get senokot (senna) s to to keep your new stool that will be formed soft once you are cleared out. Then, get off your pain meds by addressing the cause.
