Suffering From Chronic Constipation, Why Do I Have Pains And Spasms?

I have chronic constipation and use a high colonic enema daily. I had no solid stool all the water I put in the colon 1000CC and then the water comes out. I am have sharp pains and like spasms under the sternum. I can t sit up straight, I am bent over in pain. And I hear a lot of noises in the colon area. Also I m having indigestion after every thing I eat and drink, belching constantly. My doctor is unavailable but when I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago he told me to get citrate of magnesium. If it was a blockage I would be in a lot of pain and also something else, which I can t remember. Can u give me some advice and symptons if it is a blockage or maybe an ulster?
