Hi,
from history it seems that there might be having absolute constipation and producing hard fecolith giving this problem.
Avoid taking oxycodone as it might cause constipation..
Insert Glycerine suppository to pass the stool.
Take laxative like Crimaffin daily at night.
Go for enema if required.
Take plenty of water and more fiber containing food.
Ok and take care.
