Difficulty In Passing Motions Post Foot Surgery. Have Tried Plenty Of Fluids, Enema, Suppository. Help?
I had foot surgery last Friday, so it has been 1 week and 2 days and I have been unable to poop. I am eating normally and drinking plenty of water. I tried an enema and a suppository and aloe juice but nothing is working. I m starting to feel very full. What do I do? I was put under anesthesia so I feel like I am holding on to those toxins still as well.
