I am quite amazed that the ER didn't at least give you some indication as to what to do for constipation.
All narcotic pain relievers have the warning of constipation as a side effect. An enema or a strong laxitive usually takes care of it.....and that is something an ER could easily do.
Neurologists usually don't treat constipation other than a side effect from a med that is used to treat some other symptom. I'll be curious as to what your Neuro has to say.
