Question: Today I got a pins and needle feeling in my hands when I had a bowel movement. It passed quickly. Never happened before. Feel fine now.
Brief Answer:
Following information is required...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The pins and needle feeling in your hands when having a bowel movement (bm) is related to a possible neurological reaction to a straining during bm.
Have you been constipated recently? Heavy straining and/or taking too long to pass the motion might have caused such feeling.
That was nothing worrisome, if it will repeat again for a few more times, then, further examinations would be advised.
All the best!
