What to do about this possible stool impaction??

Hello, I've been going through quite the situation. As of the past month or so I started having quite a bit of bowel irregularity, i assume because i completely stopped keeping track of my diet since i've been so busy lately with the grind of life. So about thursday or friday, I notice i definitely cannot pass a solid bowel movement at all. I assumed that this was just a case of bad constipation, and through saturday, sunday, and monday, I have tried everything from bisacodyl tablets to bisacodyl suppositories, have been drinking a cup of miralax solution every day since saturday, tried flushing with epsom salts multiple times through the weekend, tried a decent handful of warm salt water enemas along with daily doses of metamucil throughout the ordeal, and then last night tried a fleet enema, a max dose of milk of magnesia and a huge glass of extremely potent green juice for some extra nutrients before bed, and this morning another smaller dose of milk of magnesia. Now I'm really not sure when its time to see about this bad bod getting manually removed at the hospital, Nothing i've tried has produced a solid bowel movement so far since i noticed this trouble, and over the weekend and until yesterday, the discomfort has been growing to take a damn good chunk of enjoyment out of life, and i thought i was for sure going to have to take a hospital visit this morning if not last night because of the discomfort. the suppositories seemed to work the best so far, letting me at least pass a decent little pile of chunky soft pieces that kinda looked like what you'd pass while constipated after a night of drinking beer. From what i could assume is the magnesia working in conjunction with miralax, last night i was definitely having quite an argument going on inside of my stomach, and all kinds of movements and gurgles and groans that were akin to that of a giant scifi movie monster terrorizing a city that is dying right infront of its children. i still have quite a few movements going on up in there and have passed a TONof liquids but today i have felt much much better and have not had any really imposing discomfort at all since waking up, but have been consistently expelling liquid every hour or so. So at this point i'm not sure what to think of this situation and theres no way the impacted stool just disappeared, but i don't know if i should keep trying to wiggle the beast or just go get a digital removal and end this now. please help?
