I had to take aspirin with codeine for a torn muscle in my back and was only taking one pill before bed to help me sleep pain free. I am now constipated and can only poop a little bit at a time. Yesterday my fiance noticed I was cranky and I felt bloated. I should probably be drinking more water but is there anything else I should do? Or just wait it out.. it's been about 4 or 5 days since I've gone normally. Eek! :)

This is a side effect with this medication. Try some warm prune juice. And yes drink water too.

The constipation is a side effect of any narcotic...You should increase your fluid and fiber intake and if necessary take a stool softener or laxative......If you start to experience abdominal pain with the constipation, you should talk to or see your doc.
