I have some things to throw out concerning the subject. Make sure your attendants aren't shoving sharp long nails down there. Miralax will help you to some extent. You have the right idea, find a way to get checked into the hospital to evaluate your rectum. Then all the specialists are right there an can give your options to you. Back in 01 when I started having pain I went in to the hospital and got my colonoscopy done and they did scans and evaluated the pain, offered drugs as well. People have no clue that we cant get on tables and a proper examination is impossible unless you have a person that can lift you up on the table. I just told all my docs the situation and they helped me get in the hospital. Im not sure how people do proper bowell routines without digital stim. If you get some hard stool packed in there its never coming out anytme soon. You would have to run the program so your bowels are so loose you would go everytime you bent over.
