My sister just had a nose feeding tube put in over a week ago. She is on fluids only. She has a difficult time going to the bathroom (days) and then is so constipated. She says she strains and gets a little bit of blood due to the straining, and severe cramping. This afternoon she tried an enema and it made it ten times worse. She was in severe cramping pain. Has anyone had this experience and what did you do? She also completed 6 weeks of radiation twice a day on 4/26/02 for cancer of tonsils. Please help with any suggestions.
