Help 😭 Can’t pass stool and I’m freaking out
TMI, but I really need some advice.
I usually poop every morning without any problems. On Thursday evening, I tried to go, but only a little came out. Then it became really painful, so I stopped. I ate some yogurt and went to bed.
On Friday morning, I took RestoraLAX and then took another dose around 7 PM. I also drank about 1.5–2 L of water throughout the day.
Since then, every time I get the urge to poop, it feels normal for literally a second, like the stool is soft and coming out… and then suddenly it feels like I’m trying to push out a bowling ball. I get a really sharp pain right at the end (around the rectum/anus), and I have to stop because it hurts so much.
There’s no blood, I’m still passing gas, and I can pee normally, but I still can’t have a proper bowel movement.
Has anyone experienced this? Did RestoraLAX eventually work, or did you need something else like a suppository or an enema? At what point should I go to a walk-in clinic?
I’m honestly getting really stressed and just want to poop. 😭
