For future reference, drink plenty of water. Most of us tend to drink water only when we�re really thirsty, but our bodies need lots of it, so a few glasses a day is really beneficial. One of the effects of too little water can be painful constipation.
Raindrop, when I read about your broken foot, I wondered if you have been taking painkillers containing Codeine. This can make you very constipated and would cause the problems you are describing. Your best bet to get rid of your problem is probably the glycerine suppositories mentioned by maggie01. When the glycerine melts it will make it much easier and your bottom will not be so sore. Hope you are soon feeling better.
Oh dear this may sound nasty but if it is coming out partway, then you can try to break off whatever has left your bum. Wrap some loo paper around your hand, or you can use rubber or latex gloves if you happen to have any around. (of course, you could use bare hands, if you aren't squeamish, but give them a good scrub afterwards...). At least that will decrease the volume left inside which may reduce the discomfort.
At any rate, I hope this comment is redundant and you have sorted it out by now.
