Suggest Remedy For Constipation Post Trans Urethral Resection Of Prostate

I just came home from surgery yesterday aft., a trans urethral resection of the prostrate. They gave me OxyContin for pain at 2.30 am this morning, and before that an antibiotic and stool softener. I have since taken another antibiotic and stool softener but I haven t had a bowel movement since yesterday morning and I rarely get constipated. I feel pain and I think it s from constipation. Is it ok for me to take another oxy pain killer or should I just tough it out and wait to have a bowel movement?
