A member asked:

Why does my butt and lower back hurt, also when i squeeze my butt muscles i can feel the pain, then when i take a bowel movement this pain gets better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low back pain: It's difficult to understand how a bowel movement relieves what appears to be chronic musculoskeletal discomfort of the lower spine. It could me that relaxation of some degree of spasm occurs as you sit for a bowel movement. It's best to consult your physician for assessment of your lumbosacral spine and to report any bowel symptoms,if any.
