A member asked:
Follow up to previous question. can severe pain after bm in patient with ankylosing spodylitis or spinal stenosis be warning for cauda equina syndrom?

No.: Numbness of your perineum (buttock and groin), urinary urgency (have to go to the wash room immediately), incontinence that is mild and comes and goes may be warning of caudal equina syndrome, not usually just severe pain after a bm.
