Q: Foreign object stuck in rectum

As embarrassing as this is, I realize I might be in need of some medical assistance, so here it goes..

Two days ago, I was in the car with a friend who was driving.. We had just picked up a small bag (I believe called a dime-bag) full of prescription pills. To make a long story short, we were about to get pulled over and I stuck the closed bag up my rear-end. I don't believe I actually stuck them far up there, but probably due to sitting down for about an hour the bag managed to get stuck not just between my 'cheeks' but actually inside my anus/rectum.. Not in any physical pain, I decided to wait until I had to defecate, hoping they would just pop out. Now it has been two days, and I have eaten plenty of food but I am having a hard time using the restroom. I feel almost as if the small bag is blocking my feces from leaving my rectum. Last night and this morning, through a strained effort, I was able to let a very small amount of feces out, but I know feel as if my stomach/gut is full but I am still unable to defecate. I just took a laxative, so I'm waiting to see if this works, but if it does not what should I go about doing.. Please help I am in desperate need of advice!!

The laxative method is not working, and I am starting to feel bloated and light-headed.

Hi
Sometimes a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. Probably not a wise choice, but we tend to do stupid things in drastic sitautions. Go to a drug store and buy a bottle of magnesium citrate. Follow hte directions on the bottle. This is what is used before a colonoscopy. Its a COLON blow.............so once you take this, stay close to the bathroom. If this does not produce the little bag of pills, I'd say go to the ER. I have a best freind whose heads the ER dept, he's actually a surgeon, and your problem is NOTHING compared to what he's seen. Just be greatful its not a JELLY JAR!
