Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to our community.
You have two issues that need the attention of your primary care physician.
Have you tried laxatives and stool softeners to help with the opioid induced constipation?
When laxatives and stool softeners aren't enough, your doctor may prescribe a medication that’s made for people who have constipation because of opioids. These medications work by blocking the effects that the drugs have on your gut.
You may have an inguinal hernia. This could be linked to chronic constipation straining to have a bowel movement.

Yes there are several meds for OlC but all of them cost a small fortune, in fact one is An injectable medication that cost over $1000 per dose!
The most popular med is Movantik at $200+ for a 30 day supply. Being a retired RN with 2 failed back surgeries that have caused me to have Rotoscoliosis, along with my fibromyalgia, osteoporosis. Osteoarthritis, and neuropathy l have to take extended relief Morphine twice daily and Oxycodon for break through pain which cost me $60 a month. Plus my other meds are an additional $140. I do NOT qualify for extra help with my meds or food . I need $1800 for dentures as my 19 year old ones broke. I do have to eat, pay rent, phone bill, burial and car insurance . My car is 20 year old and requires frequent repairs.
July 18, 2017 - 9:33pmHow do you suggest l empower myself to get help with these problems?
