   Why don’t you try stool softener to relieve the strain, even something that would induce a bout of diarrhoea would be better that keeping the poisons inside for this long. Always keep something at the house for situations like this. That part of your body is central to your immune system, not being able to pass stool is very dangerous to that most sensitive area.

   Drink alot of water and use a stool softener until you can get in to your doctor.

   I had major problems after a short time on a cholesterol drug.

   I also put flax seeds on my salads and in my cereal and that helps alot.

   I was constipated for a week once, when I was 13 years old. At the end of that week, I got cramps. Bad. Turned out, my appendix was about to bust.

   I assume you mean it started yesterday? You answered your own question. DRINK WATER.
   It will hurt if it is dried out but you need ot get it out. If you have the urge then push it out!
   Otherwise take a gentle laxative and increase your fluids. A doc doesn’t want to hear from you after only 3 days of constipation. He can only tell you to drink fluids, use an enema which you can buy at the store or take a laxative.
   Also get active.
   INcrease fiber in your diet.
   Call MD in a week if you truly can’t go.
