Suggest Remedy For Constipation With No Help From Powdered Laxative And Cranberry Juice

22 years old and around 160 lbs, female, have been constipated for almost a full 24 hours. Have tried to pass the stool but it partially is too large and pushing anymore causes pain and muscle strain. Have taken powdered laxative and have been drinking prune/cranberry juice with 7up and still nothing has happened.
