HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, it is normal, particularly if the problem with constipation has been going on for a long period of time.
If the bowel movements return to normal then the pain should decrease within a few days.
If the constipation recurs then the pain may worsen because the bowel is once again trying hard to get rid of the retained stool.
You can use pain killers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to see if this helps to relieve any discomfort that you may be experiencing.
