A member asked:
I experience foot tingling and numbness when i go poop. straining and constipation are common. what should i do? is this normal?

No: But if these occurs only during straining, methods to reduce constipation (more fibre and activities) may help resolve the problem. On the other hand, you may have a nerve issue brought on by the sitting position for which an ortho consult is recommended,

Sacral plexus: This is common when passing a large mass of hard stool. It's from the pressure on the nerve plexus near the rectum. Manage the constipation and it won't be troublesome. A check for hypothyroidism and porphyria may be worthwhile. Drink plenty of water, especially when you travel.
