Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Back Pain

My husband fell last Monday. He says his back hurts, but since the fall he has been constipated. After eating prunes, prune juice and takking a stool softener/laxitive, he finally has had some releif yesterday. Today, he still feels he needs to go , but wasn t sure if he should take more of the above or wait a couple days to see if he can go naturally.
