drink plenty of fresh filtered water to combat any dehydration firstly;
secondly drink freshly squeezed orange juice as it is packed full of vitamin C and vitamin C is a natural laxative.
Try to cut right back on dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol as these will only exacerbate your problem.
Eat more foods rich in magnesium ie: leafy and green vegies, nuts and seeds, wholegrains and cereals and cold water fishes such as tuna, salmon, sardines and whiting.
magnesium is essential for healthy arteries and veins and heart health and will aide in relieving constipation.
Good luck?

take a good quality multi B complex supplement to replenish your body with its stores and aide in combatting the stress your body has been under ....... the opiates would have certainly have robbed of your B complex of vitamins so essential for healthy digestive, neural and immune system functioning.

Try drinking prune juice
Dieters Green tea works quick and cleans you out a lot! make sure its Dieters green tea it comes in a green box and you can buy it at wall mart or give your self an enema
laxatives. They would do it. Tho id be near a toilet.. since ur leg is sore! Depending on how fast/strong they are... u might need to get there quick!
Laxtives or more water... but laxatives would be the best. ask for strong ones at your pharmacy...
eat ripe papaya
short term answer? quick and easy? its gross but effective. go buy castor oil. its gross and comes in a small bottle so u have to drink the whole bottle. but trust that constipation will no longer be a problem.
Short term....use Fleets Enema
dark karro syrup will really make you go, and fast
