Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
There are 2 likely reason for this pain .
The first one as you have noted is that you have not passed motion for the last 4 days. So the colon ( large bowel) is now loaded and there must have been fecoliths ( hard stools ) due to absorption of water by the large bowel. This does cause dull ache to start with and then the cramping pain. Moving around will increase the pain as also eating due to normal reflex of the body for the colon tries to evacuate.
another small possibility is associated gastritis.
