I have stabbing back pain when having a bowel movement. should i see a doc?

Herniated disc: Valsalva nanuevers, such as bowel movements, raise pressure in the spinal canal, which can produce back pain with a herniated disc. However, other medical problems can masquerade as low back pain, and need to be ruled out.
