3. Glycerine suppositories. That'll at least clear out your lower colon.

4. Fiber bars.

5. Coffee and water.

But stop the heavy meds now. The muscle relaxer plus Aleve or Motrin is all you need. The heavy pain meds really don't give you more relief.


Speaking as someone with a back injury ... yes. Yes, they do. There's a reason doctors prescribe them.

I'd start with 1-2 Colaces a day. They might not do the trick. If not, go with some MOM. Will clean you right on out.
