Hi,
I understand your concern.
You are having fecal impaction; currently treated with milk of magnesia, dietary fiber, metamucil and mineral/castor oil.
Still stool is not coming out.
I advise to use anal enema. Drink warm water. And keep moving, jogging or walking to help bowel movement.
If still not coming out, should ask for medical help from your doctor or proctologist or should go to ER for immediate treatment.
Hope this helps.
