Pain and bloating after enema

Hi. I'm going to apologize for the length of this question first.   I have a few autoimmune diseases.  My colon is twisted.  After I had my hysterectomy, I became severely constipated. Flubs out my colon n intestines a twisted. Making it hard to do a colonoscopy.  I've had pain on my right side (where colon is) for YEARS. Before my hysterectomy.   That's part of the reason they gave me the hysterectomy.   That didn't help obviously.  U can feel the stool in my stomach. I can go 4 to 5 weeks without a bowel movement.   I have to go in my rectum to dislodge small pellets in order to get some relief. I can push jus fine.  It's jus it gets stuck by my tail bone.  The knot I had years ago is bigger now.   But every time I get a x ray they jus tell me I'm backed up severely.  Well duh.  But why! I've had hospitals give me enemas n nothing.   I've been backed up and tried a enema.  About 20 min later, I went. Some.  But it was the worst pain ever!!  I was sweating extremely bad and felt like I was going to pass out.  After I went,  the pain on my right side(where colon is) is extreme.  I can't stand up straight.  N I feel very ill. Obviously I'm being poisoned by my stool.  I'm bloated too.  I've lost about 40 lbs in 2 n a half months. Not sure if it's my autoimmune disease. But I doubt it. Altho u can lose weight from it, but ever since the knot grew I've become more sick. Where it lasts any where from 2 to 3 weeks.  My potassium drops and sugar insainly. I take potassium pills but it's not enough. I generally end up in the ER getting it interveniously.   It's dropped to 2.0 almost killing me. I don't lose fluids to make this happen. When I was 8 months pregnant,  u could see a bulge in the ultrasound. When I asked bout it she took me she seen it before and told the DR.  But they couldn't do anything till baby was born.  When she was born,  n I had another test done,  u could b see it any more.  Jus stool.  Duh. U can't see it inside my colon,  jus outside when I was big n pregnant. Because ur insides move around.  Because of my insurance being state insurance, I don't get good Drs.  Im slowly dieing over here.   But the pain I have now is worse now that I did the enema.    I know this is a lot to take and I apologize.  I'm desperate. I Havre 3 children,  can't work,  no disability, (11 months till I go to court)   I also have other problems with migraines and skull sitting too low, and a few other problems.  But that's a different discussion.  Please help me.  Please. My children will thank u. I need to save my life for them. I'm all they have.  I don't care bout my self if it wasn't for them. I would of ended this pain years ago.  They r my everything. And they need me!  If u were able to get through this message, thank you for your  time.   From the bottom of my heart
