How long did it take you to poop?
I'm gonna keep this short. I Had inguinal hernia repair surgery 3 days ago. I have been taking oxycodone for 2 days (last dose today). I feel bloated and constipated but still in extreme pain. My abdomen is very swollen, possibly distended and I have not had a bowel movement since the 2 days before the surgery and since the surgery I have not even passed any gas.
What was your experience getting back on track? Is this normal? At what point should I consider doing something about this?
any advice would be helpful
