			<description><![CDATA[I'm so sorry I haven't been able to be on hear and read your post.... 
 my own pain has been pretty bad lately, even with the meds.... 
  
 As far as the "plumbing" problem goes, I'm unaware of any effective pain med(s) that don't cause that. I had no benefit from the <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Miralax" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Miralax')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Miralax">Miralax</a>, I use an OTC brand of sof...]]></description>

I did purchase Dulcalax yesterday and took it before I went to bed.  It worked like a charm! 
  
 Guess I well do this regimen every night until I am no longer taking the pain meds.

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, constipation is another curse us pain suffers have to endure.  <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Miralax" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Miralax')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Miralax">Miralax</a> worked for me, but he results became totally unpredictable so I stopped.  (BTW - - Target (and I suppose others) have their own brand of <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Miralax" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Miralax')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Miralax">Miralax</a> that is far less expensive.)

I also really like Fiber One bars.  They are gassy though.  My mom calls them Fiber Fart bars, but they do work.  Myralax used to be my main drug, but like someone else said.....
