Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 for those of you who suffer from constipation, how long do you wait before calling your doc? I'm asking because my physiatrist told me that if i totally lost control or ability to go I should call him. The last time I went was Tuesday morning and that took enormous effort. I had been constipated since thursday the week before. usually i go everyday or every other day. i've noticed that there is more numbness in the ano-rectal opening and much more weakness. my plan is to call him on monday if i haven't gone by then but my daughter and sister are very concerned. I feel awful, i have a fever of 101.5 (up and down since wednesday). and the more I push to move my bowels I can feel my sacrum starting to twist. i've been taking 3 senekot (i used to take 2) and a stool softner since wednesday. I've had to cut out eating fruit until i see my primary this week about the diabetes thing. anyway, when do you call your doc about this?
