Hi Adam. It is true that strong painkillers can cause the bowels to become sluggish and present with constipation. You may want to speak to your oncologist as this is a common problem among people using strong painkillers. Bulking agents, laxatives and fiber supplements may help. Ask your doctor about simple exercises, dietary changes and lifestyle measures that can also be helpful

I have tried all I can think of to go regularly but just cant strain like I used to. Any advice I would surely appreciate. Thank you…adam
