Do I Have To Have An Immediate CT Scan Of Ab And Pelvic Region With Contrast?

2 views of the abdomen comprising a KUB series reveal a nonobstructive gas pattern (I am faily gassy)
There is no overwhelming constipation or fecal impaction (I had a bowl movement last night)
Organ silhouettes are generally obscured by the overlying bowel gas content
There is a levoconex scoliosis of lumbar spine
Impression: No evidence of large or small bowl junction by plain field exam. Skeletal deformity. Patient had 2 prior exams in 2020 for the same complaints. Follow up contrast enhanced CT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis.
My stomach is VERY bloated. My Uncle on my Dad's side had colon cancer. My mother has a couple of family members who have MS. My symptoms mirror those of MS.
I take these psych meds:
Adderall
Klonopin
Paxil
Thorazine
Fluoxetine
Symptoms I have that reflect MS are:
Intense need to urinate at night. Trickling urine after I pee
Sciatic spams first on left lower back now moved to right lower back
Facial pain and numbness
Poor circulation in feet (they go white)
Restless leg syndrome
Occasional jerking of hands and legs (non painful)
At times difficulty swallowing
severe constipation
Muscle spasms.
