Narconstipation = Narcotics + Constipation
Medically termed: Opioid Induced Constipation (OIC) is caused when pain management opioids such as codeine, dihydrocodeine, tramadol, buprenorphine, dilaudid, methadone, diamorphine, fentanyl, morphine, oxycodone, or hydrocodone cause an unwanted blockage due to the opioid biding to the
mu receptors in the GI tracts and slowing down
gut motility which causes the fecal matter to be retained and more
water to be reabsorbed which then makes it more difficult and painful to excrete.
AKA: Percocet-Poopless,
Nothing-But-Fentanyl-Farts, Oxycodone-Ouchies, Codeine Crapless, Deuce-less Dilaudid, Norconstipation (Norco + Constipation)
Narconstipation: It's not
the shit.
Me:
Doc, thanks for the
pain meds. They are helping out a lot after this surgery. But damn, I'm backed up. All I want to do is shit and I can't. What's the deal?
Doc:
Oh, you gots the narconstipation.
Me: WTF?
Doc: Pain free. Poo filled. Life's a bitch.
