Can Severe Pain In The Bottom Of Feet Be Caused By Constipation?

I have had sciatica pain mostly on my right side for almost 30 years, however recently I suffered an L4, L5 herniaton compressing nerves on my left side.Although I am much better, I have been experiencing bad aching on the bottom of my feet. It seems that when my severe constipation is relieved, my feet feel MUCH better. Is this caused by ib/constipation which I also have had for many years or the herniation which appears to be on the mend now.

Eat fresh fruits like peach ,kiwi that help in digestion.
