I had a laparoscopic surgery 10 days ago where I was under general anesthesia. I know that constipation is a side effect from the anesthesia, but I'm not sure at what point it means something is wrong. I was constipated right after surgery, had a few days where everything seemed back to normal, then the past 2 days I've been very uncomfortable with constipation. I've taken laxatives and I've used a glycerol suppository, which help, but hours later i feel like I'm right back where I started. My abdomen is sore like I've over used the muscles. I'm also experiencing lower back pain.
