You poor thing, I was told by my surgeon that if I became constipated that I shouldn't wait. I was so plugged up, I spent almost an hour in the washroom trying to pass it but failed, all that came out was like black sand. Became weak and so I didn't hesitate to go to the ER. They did an enema (sp?). It did help, it passed but O.M.G. did it ever hurt. You shouldn't wait. You can create other damages by waiting like hemorroids.
If you really don't want to go to the ER, go to walmart and buy an enema bottle. After inserting, like the nurse said, hold it in, which is hard cause you'll get crampy and all, but you need to hold it for at least 20 minutes. Then try. If it doesn't, please don't wait!!
I felt soooo good once I went and trust me, I am taking benefiber (no taste at all) in my water now, + 15ml of milk of magnesia every night before bed. I so don't want to go through this again!! lol
Keep me posted!

nathalie, you should NOT be taking MOM every night. It's very bad for your bowels to be using a laxative that regularly... MOM should only be used as a tool for occasional constipation.
Use the benefibre, use a stool softener, but STOP taking Milk of Magnesia every day. You can get dependent on laxatives and ruin your bowels.
