A member asked:
Why does my lower left back and side hurt when having a bowels movement? could it be a nerve issue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: Normally bowel movements should not cause pain. A change on bowel habits is a potential " red flag" for lesions in the bowel, including colon cancer. Suggest you see your doctor for evaluation and possible colonoscopy.
