Opposite end: Don't wait for the x-ray, it is unlikely to show anything earth-shattering if you are not febrile / vomiting / septic. If you are generally healthy, try enema (like fleets) & follow directions. If that helps move things, may need to repeat x 1 in several hours. After moving, bottle of mag citrate will clear from above. From then on, use fiber or other stool softener to keep things moving.
