I took Senna or Senna S 2x daily seemingly forever. Another key is to move around by talking regular walks and down lots of water. Even the fiber stuff won't help without water. As a general rule, take your weight divided by 2. This is the minimum amount of water to drink each and every day. I don't know if you juice but cabbage juice does wonders for constipation and overall intestinal health.
Sorry I don't have anything to offer on the jaw pain.
