Has anyone have stubborn constipation?

Postdiagnosis vent/questions

I have been backed up now for a week. I haven’t gone to the bathroom. I literally tried everything to help get my bowels moving. I’ve even tried prescription medications/stool softeners. Nothing is working for me. I’m bloated like I’m a few months pregnant. I can feel the hard stools when I touch my abdomen when I massage it to help get it moving but that’s not working either.

Has this happened to anyone else before?

I don’t know if I have a bowel blockage but I’m most positive I do. I already told my boyfriend he’s gonna have to take me to the ER tomorrow. I am not hungry only thirsty.

I read if I take magnesium citrate while having a blockage could be dangerous. So I won’t do that.

I just need some help because I really don’t know what else do to?
