What Causes Absence In Bowel Moments After An Accident And Fracture?

My girlfriend and I were in a motorcycle accident 6 days ago. At 50 mph and rolling and hitting the pavement we came through it with lots of bruising and her with a fractured tibia plateau. Home from ER 4-5 hrs later. She was proscribed pain meds, muscle relax. and nausea. She has not had a bowel movement since. No meds in 24 hrs except Advil. She has has a good appetite for the past 3 days but no bowel movement. Any ideas?
