Do any of you have a suggestion for my daughter's painful constipation and hemorrhoids? She has the "urge" to move the bowels, but it feels like "it won't come out". There is some stenosis and some bulging hemorrhoids that are contributing to the pain. She's tired OTC stool softener. And under the doctor's recommendation, a Ducolax suppository and waiting to try the oral laxative. She's drinking lots of water, trying to sit in the tub for a bit. Running out of ideas.

Please tell your daughter we

Please tell your daughter we sympathize with her so much. It's so very uncomfortable. A double dose of Miralax might help. It's over-the-counter. I'd just double check with her doctor first though, just to be sure it's ok. Walking around might also help get things moving.

Walking

I agree with Rose. Walking will help her bowels move. If she's able to do this, I hope she'll give it a try. I'm sorry she's having to experience this.
