i have been constipated all day today but it is not normal constipation it is severe and I know for sure it is not going to go away. I have tried yoga, fiber, eating prunes/bananas, i took a dulcolax, i did squat, excercises, running, lots of water. it has been about 7 hours since taking the laxative i still cannot go but i feel like im going to explode. we cant afford to take me to doctor or hospital. i think i am really going to die because it is unbearable and it has never been this bad before. i am in so much discomfort and the worst headache in the world. is there anything i can do to relax because i cant go to the bathroom no matter

Drink a bottle of a saline laxative. They look similar to a soft drink (carbonated) and are usually in a green bottle.
If that doesn't work (it should work), I guess you will have to have someone reach up in there and dig it out.

Unbearable pain in the abdomen from constipation is not a thing to delay getting medical attention for, especially if the headache is accompanied by fever.
If your regular diet has proper amounts of fiber, water, and you get enough exercise, you should not have constipation.
However, several chronic neuromuscular diseases can interfere with normal elimination. An intestinal blockage is a medical emergency. It can kill in 72 hours. The signs of blockage are lack of stool for several days, expanding abdomen circumference. Measure your abdomen at one hour intervals. If it's increasing, it means gas is collecting in your gut. Fever is a bad sign, too, because a high fever indicates the presence of infection, usually in the abdominal cavity, from a hole in the intestine. The symptoms of intestinal blockage are sharp abdominal pain, especially if you move. Sometimes the pain will subside if you lay very still, and keep your knees up against your chest.
Think carefully. Is your financial situation worth your life? Find an ER!

Go to the doctors my brother was constipated once but he took something and he was able to go. PS. use the Emergancy Room.
