Hi my name is Robin, I was injured on the job in 1997 and I had back surgery in 2009. I had to start taking Oxycodone and over the years I started reducing my dose; however my constipation has not gotten any better. I have tried the Movantik in the past and it has not worked on me. I have tried so many things for constipation, may I ask just to refresh my memory is this a shot?

Movantik is a pill used to treat opioid-induced constipation (OIC). I tried it and it didn't work for me.

I now take Relistor for OIC. I also take Motegrity which is supposed to get the intestines moving. They seem to be better but I still have to rely on Dulcolax, and I'd rather not use that.

Resistor is very expensive, but if you're on Social Security income you can get it approved, ask your provider to get you the forms to submit.
