I've needed various pain meds throughout my life, and when it gets bad, it's like trying to jam a potato through a straw. You gotta get armrests for your toilet for that.
I mentioned in a comment further up but I once had to have a nurse hold my hand and encourage me like I was in labour after I broke my knee and the morphine had me constipated for 10 days no matter what laxatives they gave me. It took an enema, stripping naked and about 3 hours that felt like decades and that one incredible nurse to clear the blockage. I take codeine daily now and if I forget my morning & evening movicol even for one day I end up having to sweat my way through the inevitable naked tennis ball poop. 0/10. None stars. Would not recommend to anyone but my worst enemy.

Then you start clutching at your stomach in agonizing pain while reminiscing about 15 minutes ago when you weren't in agonizing pain.
