As a nurse (yes, its gonna be gross) when I get desperate, I will lube up a finger with prep H, and reach in and wiggle it out with my finger. (make sure to cut your nails!) its right there!!! I try not to resort to this measure, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I would prefer to feel the urge, walk to the potty, sit down, and wait a second, then...a nice C or S shaped deposit. not this dump truck full of rocks.
All of you have made me feel so much better about this dysfunction. I really had no idea how not alone I really am.

I have quit being embarassed or ashamed of having to help the poopies out! I'm not saying you are, but I use to be. I have to do this on a daily bases. It is easier to help it out and not have to be in such discomfort.
The way I do it is double up a wet wipes and wrap in around my longest fnger. Then it is easier to help guide it out. It's not messy at all. And the moistness of the towelette does the trick.
I am glad for this thread because other people reading this who are just learning they have ms, or who are just now have this problem, it is good for them to know others are going through it.
Thanks again for the thread!
