Combatting Codeine

Posted 03.07.2005 by Turtle Head (53)

I often wonder why I hear so little about the effects of narcotics and other medications on what is usually a pleasant part of most everyone's day -- the daily poop.

So begins my tale. As have so many of us, in my early twenties I required the removal of my wisdom teeth. A pretty simple procedure for the most part. I had seen co-workers and friends go through it and it seemed like they were back to normal in a day or two. So I went off to the dentist with few worries. Certainly I wasn't thinking about how a little work at the beginning of my digestive tract would affect the ending of my digestive tract.

As it turns out, my teeth were impacted. Two of them, badly. I actually awoke at one point during the extraction to the sight of a hammer descending towards my face. They had to break my teeth into pieces. Thank God they knocked me back out.

I'll skip forward to getting home, sleepy and drugged up. I started taking my codeine as instructed. Dreaded codeine. I needed it for the pain. It was simply excruciating. Just moving hurt my face. It felt like shards of glass rolling around in my gums and brought tears to my eyes. More codeine, please!

The next three days were a haze of codeine supplemented by vodka and Chef Boyardee Beefaroni. Vodka for pain, Beefaroni for its smooth, saucy delight. I could swallow one or two of the Chef's morsels at a time as I sat upright on the couch. No need to chew, barely a need to swallow. They just sort of slid down, like tomato sauce-covered slugs. Much like the codeine.

Now for the fun. Did you know that codeine, like many other painkillers, causes constipation? (That's why junkies shoplift Ex-Lax. I'd always wondered why I caught them doing that. Now I know!) I realized at about day four that I hadn't taken a dump. What made me think of it was a weird, dull feeling in my gut. The pain felt better by now, so I decided it was likely time to unload some of the Chef's pasta. I sat, relaxed, grabbed a magazine to while away my time, and... nothing. I squiggled around some, trying to get things going. I farted; just a squeak. "Ahhh, there we go. Get moving boy!" Nada. Nothing.

So I pushed a little -- just a test push, mind you. I kinda sorta felt some movement. Real close to my sphincter, but not quite there. This may require some more pushing. Five minutes later, I started to sweat from the pushing, and my teeth were throbbing. But I feel it! It's riiiiight there... oh my God -- WHAT THE FUCK!

It came out. I swear I felt it come out. And then it WENT BACK. And why was my asshole twitching?! It felt like a science class frog hooked up to a twelve-volt battery, jumping and spasming with a life of its own. Frankenasshole!

After a second or two, I pushed a little and checked out what was going on down there with a bit of toilet paper. Again, I felt it come out; and again, back in it went.

Next, I did what any man in my position would do. I got up, got dressed, and went out to buy a thousand dollar stereo. Hey, chicks buy shoes, I buy stereos. I got home, and while the wife hooked up the stereo (she's a geek), I attempted to remove the pinecone that I was sure was lodged up my ass. Same results as before. Sweat, cursing, and the pinecone crawling up my ass.

Off to the drugstore I went!

Normally I am pretty private about my bowels. This was no time for modesty, though. I found the pharmacist in the back. A good looking girl, too. Damn my luck. What I said next surprised me as much as her, I think.

"Excuse me," I said.

She said, "Yes, sir?"

I said, "I can't crap, and if you don't have anything to help me, I'm going to the emergency room."

She blinked and looked at me like I was talking to myself, as if I had more to say, or was about to correct myself. I just looked back. It took her a second, but it finally registered, I guess. She actually came out of her little pharmacist box, walked me to the laxative aisle, handed me a green bottle, and told me to drink half of it when I got home. It was Magnesium of Citrate, and looked like a little bottle of ginger ale.

Home I went. Drank half the bottle down. It was bitter but tolerable. Half an hour later I felt a little gurgle or two, but that was it. So I downed the bottle and sat on the couch to wait it out.

Fifteen minutes after that, a few more gurgles. Then a lot of gurgles. Then I felt it moving down lower and lower. In a few minutes, I could actually feel this stuff moving through my digestive track, turning everything in its path to liquid. It was going REALLY fast now, like liquid fuckin' plumber. I hauled ass to the shitter -- at least, as fast as the pine cone up my ass would let me -- and sat in anticipation.

Then it bottomed out. BAM! Right at that fucking pinecone. I could actually feel it trying to eat its way through. But alas, the gallon or two of burning liquefied shit insisted it had to get out, NOW! There was no pushing this time -- just pressure like I'd never thought I'd feel in my life, and an involuntary spasm of poor Frankenasshole. I thought of every lame prison sex joke I had ever heard as this pinecone, literally as big as a softball, forced its way out of my virgin ass. Tears and snot were flowing freely. I may have called out for my Mother, though I'm not sure.

My ass snapped shut as the turd from hell exited, and then roared open again as the laxative-fueled butt-coffee erupted. I do remember squealing like a pig at this point, due to my brutally abused anus being tortured further by this poison running out of my body.

Fortunately, it all came out at once. I gingerly cleaned up my butt and discovered that my ass was no longer an innie like my belly button, but an outtie of epic proportions. What was left in the bowl actually bubbled, like a witches brew; the Magnesium of Citrate was still dissolving that evil pinecone that had been up my ass. After half an hour, I could actually flush the toilet. Thank god for those old-fashioned high-volume toilets.

I'm glad to report that in a day or so my stomach was back to normal, and my outtie returned to its normal innie status.

Lessons learned: Chef Boyardee and Codeine followed by a Magnesium of Citrate chaser = exploding asshole.

I'm surprised none of the stitches in your mouth snapped while you were grunting. Next time you get any serious dental work done, I highly suggest you opt for the laughing gas. I used it for my wisdom teeth extraction and it was the greatest. I wish I could do that at every visit.

Nice Story Turtle. Glad to know you've returned to normal.

Now this is a good poop report. Thanks, Turtle, this is the best story in ages. So much weak shit lately.

shitass (not verified) -- 03.07.2005

Could you feel your inside out asshole sitting in between your buttcheeks?What a relief it must have been when it snapped back.

Good story; great story telling!

Those are what we called "snapper turtles" in the military. Normal ones are "soft shelled water turtles" while ones with sunflower seed shells are "razorbacks".

The Shit Volcano (3676) -- 03.07.2005

Rocket-powered pinecone! I've had one myself. Good story, dude!

And, by the way, laughing gas works for most but they pumped half a tank into me and it didn't even give me a tingle. Choose a laughing gas and novacaine surprise.

Pill Pooper (451) -- 03.07.2005

Ouch.. Sounds like a bad time. At least you passed your pine cone.

Marcos (not verified) -- 03.07.2005

Sounds like more of a pineapple than a pine cone!

Frankenasshole---Buwahahahaha. Nice story telling. I Guess the turtle head actually does poke in and out.

SamDamnit (1191) -- 03.07.2005

Excellent story. My experience with codiene has been a bit more tolerable. I just get thick cannon ball turds that strain the starfish a little bit. I have yet to have to resort to laxatives. I can't believe you drank that whole (hole) bottle. Again; great story. Thanks for the laugh.

Frankenasshole!

Brilliant!

YOWZA. My boyfriend just had his done two weeks ago (all four wisdom teeth, plus a molar that one of the gnarly wisdom teeth had cracked). When I began reading this, I thought he had started posting here on the sly. I started to get so happy, as he has always been a bit of a shameful shitter, but the stereo part just didn't fit for our situation. Anyway, he had the "twilight" special- gas, light IV, and like forty shots of novacain. I doubt that the means to put a patient under has anything to do with your bowels- it's all in the painkillers. My b.f. was backed up for almost five days, and it was one of the most excruciating things he's had to deal with. It wasn't just the lack of b.m., I think that it may have been my constant asking the state of affairs down there.

That was some funny shit my husband wondered what the hell was so funny!!

Turtle Head (53) -- 03.07.2005

Thanks for the comments, I greatly appreciate them all. I have some seafood related tales I'll post in the near future. And I was really trilled to hear others had similar experience with opiate pain killers. I of course, had no idea at the time!

the shit reaper (not verified) -- 03.07.2005

I've had an almost identical experience. After having my jawbone drilled (for dental implants) - when the anesthetic wore off, I decided to try (against doctor's orders) and see how long I would last without the percocets. In like 30 minutes the pain was unbearable! Anyway, for the next couple of days I kept taking the prescribed percocets and noticed a similar effect as you described in your story (it wasn't half as bad though, thank god)

Balloon Knot (not verified) -- 03.08.2005

I have to comment - I too was backed up terribly after the birth of my daughter (c-section)! I took any pain pills that I was offered, mostly percocets, and let me tell you, when the dam exploded, it was really awful - almost as bad as the c-section! I wondered why I was getting this little red pill with my meds, and the nurses told me it was a stool softener, that I'd need it. I never needed one before, but being so delerious with pain, I just took it too. Good thing - I think I would have ripped apart my asshole if I hadn't taken them!

Professor Pippy P. Poopypants (not verified) -- 03.09.2005

I've had the magnesium of citrate before...it SUCKS once you get on the throne.... after i released my "chocolate milk" I also had to pray to the porcelain god

FartKnot (not verified) -- 03.09.2005

Good story. Very graphic.
For future reference, the rule to follow is 2 narcotic pills to 1 stool softener pill. 2:1. I learned this the hard (ha!) way, shitting big old narcotic cannon balls.

Candarse (not verified) -- 03.10.2005

excellent story! Ive had experience with codeine before and I remember the poop issues,get those other stories up cause this one was hilarious hoping for more jsut as good

michelle (not verified) -- 03.26.2005

Soldat (not verified) -- 07.14.2005

Okay story. Doesnt really paint a picture, and curses. also you grammar sucks.

Captain browneye . (not verified) -- 01.06.2006

Ohhh man thanks for laughs with that story ! I too have had many an 'ANAL EXCEPTION' and wil write one up soon.

curtis (not verified) -- 02.15.2006

HOLY SHITE that was the best thing I've read in ages. You had me seriously roaring with laughter.

Mike Rooterman (not verified) -- 02.17.2006

I've had codeine quite a bit and for the constipation all you need to do is push a bit then with your fingers push inwards just above the asshole (you dont touch shit or anything gross) and you can feel the big clay stone against your anus skin, keep at it and it will break into shape and come out small and cause no pain - sounds gross but you dont touch any shit and saves alot of painnnnnnn

Mike Rooterman (not verified) -- 02.17.2006

by the way you know where to press with your fingers by starting just below your back, down until you can feel it through the skin. And as you push the turd your fingers are pushing it into a smaller shape to get outta there

HumanEspresso (12) -- 03.07.2006

Awesome, I had my wisdon teeth pulled like 2 months ago and was on vicodin. I did not shit for like a week and when I did, all it was a tiny nugget. Then i took some Fleet, which is porbably what you took. That stuff ripped my asshole apart and was painful, when i was done and was wiping my butt it stung real real bad

OMG! i loved it! please write a book! hahahaha. I actually came across this story because im having the exact same problem and was trying to research it to see if there were any serious dangers (asshole turning inside out...)

Im not on codine though... ive been taking lipodrene, and im just now discovering that its the problem!

healthy 1 (1422) -- 03.05.2007

Ouch. Hopefully your teeth and your rear end are doing much better.

Magnesium Citrate saves the day yet again.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 04.18.2007

This could be part of the anesthetic, as well as the codeine.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 04.06.2008

That was F**ing hillarious! *LOL*

Elephant Boy (not verified) -- 06.12.2008

I had some hernia surgery that ended with a story like this. Execpt the "pine cone" turned out to be shaped/sizeed like a softball. I did't take anything to make me shit which was a mistake. Believe or not if you push too hard on the toilet you can bust a blood vessel in your system and die, I know this for a fact, my brother died on the pot while taken a shit. The coroner said it's quite common. Anyway, if your on pain med's take something for your constipation, if you try to force it you could be found dead in an embarresing position.
