I have severe constipation. and have been using movicol for 3 month but its not getting better. i get hurt everytime i go to the toilet.

Time to get checked: 3 months of severe constipation warrants a checkup - your doctor will likely do a rectal exam and make sure there is nothing concerning. Your doctor will also ask about your diet -making sure you're getting enough fiber and water. Please see your doc, best of luck!
