How do you treat a rectal tear?
Pain meds are clogging me up and have to take laxatives to unclog. "Catch 22". I’ve gained weight because I can’t exercise and when I take the pain meds, all I want to do is lay around or sleep. Please help!

I didn’t know your ass could cry…
That sounds terrible. Talk to the doctor who prescribed the pain meds and see if he/she can prescribe something else. As for the tear, if it’s bad enough, you might need stitches or something. It could easily get infected, so please do see a doctor about it. I hope you feel better soon.
holy shit, see a doctor. anything!
well, increase your fiber intake and walk or exercise every once in awhile if your pain medication is causing you to have constipation.
great source of fiber are your vegetables. Walking and exercising increases the peristalsis(wave like movements in your intestines) thus decreasing the episodes of constipation. Dont forget to drink extra amount of fluids. At least 8-9 glasses a day or even more.
