What Causes Numbness In The Foot During Bowel Movement?
Whenever I need to have a bowel movement and am in a situation where I cannot go (i.e. a car or in a patient room) my left foot likes to tingle and feel numb. I often have very cold hands and feet regardless the temp. which Ive thought of to be a circulation issue, but I cant see how that would mix in with my bowels. Iam just wondering why this occurs as I cannot find much information on the correlation between bowels and numbness. Typically once I go, the feeling is gone but I am just curious why it happens and if there is something I can do to prevent it (rather than go of course). I am a 21yo female that is overall rather healthy.
