Dear Snoopy
Thank you for visiting health24.com.
I am uncertain of what exactly you mean by the cocyx turned sideways. Was x-rays done to confirm this? Or do you have an old injury that caused this? I am also not sure if this can cause constipation.
If you are passing hard stools and feeling constipated, I recommend that you take Laxette syrup, 10 ml, twice daily, as well as two Softlax tablets at night, for at least 7 days. You should also follow a correct diet, as well as drinking 8 glasses of water per day.
Kind regards
