I really don’t know if, I’m posting in the right place?

I’ve been using laxido four times daily and two docusate twice daily as. general aid to pass stool! However, I’ve been unable to pass stool in any quantity since February. I’ve also used micralax and use irrigation Qufora. On Friday doc prescribed a phosphate enema, kept the enema in for over 30mins, still nothing! Nurse practitioner examined my back passage and it was totally empty. Pain is intermittent upper right quadrant and lower left quadrant. Then pain at it’s height can be debilitating. Anyone got any suggestions what to do ?

If you haven't had any scans or colonoscopy you need to be referred to a gastroenterologist for tests.
