Uncommon: complaint, never heard it in fact. If you are very constipated chronically and are having to push and strain very hard this could be related. You should take fiber laxatives, eat vegetables and fruits, and drink at least 8 oz of liquid 6 times daily.

Possible lumbar disc: There can be multiple causes. Most common is a mildly herniated disc in your lumbar spine that becomes symptomatic in the position you mentioned.
