A member asked:
I have anal pain and what feels like anal muscle contraction. this all started after morphine in the hospital and i now am very constipated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common: Pain killers tend to be very constipating. Your doctor might have 'assumed' you knew - they should have warned you and advised about how to cope. Call for advise or ask your pharmacist. I hope they'll know what's best for your specific case. In any case, drink lots of water and eat prunes or drink prune juice. I hope you get relief soon.
