Incomplete emptying sensation is brutal

No matter how much laxatives or bowel movements I have I still feel like I have some stool stuck up there and it’s extremely uncomfortable. I don’t know what to do

Frustrated

I have severe pelvic floor dysfunction and need like 5 cups or miralax or 3 ducolax pills to get relief. My colorectal surgeon said a colostomy is on the table as the last resort. But my next appointment I told her I was improving from therapy, but I’ve been having many set backs, still needing high amounts of laxatives and it feels disabling. In my mind I want a colostomy so bad because of how much it could change my life for the better, but I’m so worried and depressed if the surgeon would deny it or not. And I honestly don’t mind getting a colostomy at all, many people see it as a bad thing but I don’t if it’s gonna give me freedom.

Changing meds

The fatigue literally kicks in as a soon as I take this medication, like I literally get really lazy.
