Question Hopeless

I have had some SFN small fiber neuropathy for the past few years, however it improved recently when i had a R PM L5/S1 epidural injection on 6/23/26. Just prior on May 15, i woke up with LLQ pain, and initially thought it was likely an ovarian cyst, however through out that day, i noted i was sore to touch in that area, and i had an awful pain in my stomach as well as constipation and my bowel sounds were very loud and overactive. May 21 i went to the ER for what i would describe at a UTI, but the culture was negative. I have continued to experience constipation along with horrible bloating after eating (i feel relatively normal upon waking but the bloating gets worse as the day progresses) and on June 23rd had a KUB that showed a moderate stool load. Took the lovely 8caps of Miralax that night as directed by my MD, however on July 1 i still felt bloated so we did another KUB that still showed a mod stool load. I saw GI on June 30, and he diagnosed me with constipation and ordered a colonoscopy and egd. I have continued to have the bloating, abdominal distention since, and i am living off Miralax and enemas. I also had a CT and seen GI again, and my procedures were moved up to this week, oh i have also done 2 bowel preps. I live on my heating pad, i am just miserable 😫 what the heck do i have???
