I totally understand the concept of being so constipated you feel that you have to do everything possible to get the stuff out!!! You feel very uncomfortable, crampy, overstuffed...and so on. I once told my dil that I felt so constipated that it felt like someone had shoved the statue of liberty up my butt!!! She got a great kick out of that and is still laughing every time I bring it up. We have to have a little humor to keep on going.
I had this problem because of a medication I was taking. Itmight take 2 weeks to wait around for a bm. That was entirely too long. I would get so irritable and totally tired of the whole situation, I would go and sit and push and strain, then push some more, then strain, and .....on and on and on. After many months of this, I lost control of the rectal spyhincter. I had to have abdominal surgery to repair it. Let me tell you right now, it is a most unpleasant experience and very painful. Do everything in your power to keep from pushing and straining. Use me as an example, it is not the way to go even though it may seem like it at the time.
If you want to talk to me more about this, I will be around to answer any questions you may have. good luck to you all, gayla
