I NEED HELP.... FAST !!!!!!
Boy - sorry you're going through this!
The only thing I can think to tell you is to take a laxative. I have a colace/laxative I take. It did take about 12 hours though to work through my system. It also softened the stool.
Others here swear by Miralax and take it daily by mixing in their shakes, etc.
I really understand where you're at! I was there after only 4 days of no BM.. I can only imagine what you're feeling like after about 3 weeks.
You may also want to go to the drug store (CVS, Walgreens, etc) and get the stuff that people take for bowel prep. There is an OTC one that works well and works fast...

Get your magnesium Citrate and use that! If this persists you really need to see a physician. You don't want to mess around and get yourself into a real bind......pun intended.....LOL

You may need to give yourself an enema to get things going from below where it gets hard and dry. I know tmi, but being a nurse I have seen some patients get into real trouble with constipation.
And please use some milk of magnesia or citrate of magnesium to get things going from up above.
Lots of liquids too.
If you dont go, please call you doctor. 3 weeks is long time without a decent bm.
Let us know how things are going.
