Stool stuck in the rectum

Sorry TMI blush

Every morning I have a good bowel movement. I don't always feel 100%empty but mostly I do.
Then...by midday or early afternoon I feel there's something there. A gloved lubricated finger up the rectal passage reveals stuck stool about a couple of inches in.
There's no urge to go. I'm just aware of it. I can do deep breathing, legs up on a stool, high fibre, warm water and so on but nothing is getting it out bar suppository or irrigation with water which just leaves me sore.
It's been ongoing for so many years. Had a colonoscopy about 8 years ago, they didn't find anything.
Been diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction.
Anyone have any suggestions? Or similar experience?
Many thanks
