Unable to have normal bowel movements. Laxatives no longer work. I have to strain to the point of nearly passing out to pass liquid stool or gas. No bowel blockage shown on X-ray or CT scan. What could the issue possibly be?

For almost two weeks Ive noticed that bottom half of legs, toes, ankles, belly button are an orangish color, and the skins dry. Also constipated and feels like theres a blockage, but still able to go and pass gas. Are these things related?
