Take Milk of Magnesia. Follow the directions on the bottle for dosage. You can use this everyday to help establish a routine. It is safe.
You can also give yourself an enema (they are available over the counter).

You might need to go to the ER and have your bowels cleaned out. This happened to my friend's son. He purposely held in his #2 and after several days, he was unable to go even if he wanted to. His stomach bulged too. They cleaned him out and he is fine now.
Have you tried drinking some water? Laying on your left side to help squeeze it out? You should tell a doctor, because what happens next could be worse than getting an enema.

Call the doctor. If you're in pain, it could be more than just constipation. You don't want to be impacted. An enema isn't bad. It's better than the pain.

You do need an enema. You can get home ones at drugstores if you are more comfortable with that. Anyway, whether at home or in a clinic why not get one? Can't be as bad as what you are going through now.

have you tried Magnesium Citrate? its that liquid in a glass bottle..comes in lime, cherry or grape flavor..drink a bottle of that and it can get you going in less than 1/2 hour and it should clear it up.
If you already tried that and its not working nor is any other laxative (keep in mind oral laxatives like colace or senna take 12 hours to work) you may want to see a doctor to rule out anything - probably impactation (fecal matter solidifying in your intestines cause a back up)

Just tell your doctor. It's nothing to be embarrased about. He won't give you an enema first thing although he might recommend you give yourself one. Ask about Zelnorm. It's a drug that has done miracles for me.

You really should call the doctor, It maybe something serious, But try drinking some prune juice, or some castor oil, or eat lots of fruit try in this order because the prune juice is really helpful

Listen, it is better out than in. Try drinking prune juice. It works. But a week is a long time to rid your body of wastes.
