I too have been told I am having partial bowe obstructions now. I had soe trouble yesterday, when I woke the senekot was cramping me really bad, and I was in terrific pain trying to go.. The laxatives feel like they are trying to get you to go, but when it gets to the rectum, I cannot get it out, and it HURTS, I sweat and get so hot. Not being able to get that stool out, and all the cramping lasted an hour on the throne, it scares me it happens often now. after finally straining so hard they finall moved but I had extreme pai on the left side when thsi happens, the drs have told me that is where your sogmoid colon is and that is where the stools ends up before you go. I am so tired of talking about sh==!

I am disgusted now because my bowels will not move UNLESS i take senkot. Still living in pain, my oxycontin is not strong enough, the fentanyl patch made me so sick for 24 hours, that was a nightmare!

Love to all TOni
