  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about the constipation you are experiencing and how unwell this is making you feel at the moment.

    Unfortunately there isn't much anyone here can do for you and you really need to speak with your doctor so they can reassess your situation.

    There is some information about constipation on the NHS website. Whilst it sounds like the hospital have given you things to try and help do make sure you are also drinking plenty of water. If you can try and move around a bit this may also help make you more comfortable and get things moving in the right direction. If you aren't able to eat alongside taking medication this may also be making things worse for you.

    Do speak with your doctor when you can and I really do hope things start improving for you very soon.

    Take care
