You should drink lots of fluids (water) especailly. you will remain constipated if you don't go to the bathroom and that will cause more problems. If it hurts that bad try taking a stool softener but it is very important that you release your bowels because you can only cause more problems later. If you drink water remember it is absorbed in the intestines which will helps you have a bowel movement easier. If this doesn't help you might want to see your doctor or call an advice nurse to see what they recommend.
