Can constipation cause nerve pain in legs?

I agree, nerve pressure from a full bowel can cause leg pain. Please consult a physician to confirm.

Yes, I have faced this. As you grow older, things get more sensitive, and a full stomach can pinch those nerves leading to your legs. Once you clear your bowels, the pain typically subsides, so don't worry too much.

Please get it checked by a doctor. I ignored nerve-like pain in my legs, thinking it was just due to my chronic constipation, but it turned out to be a herniated disc that required proper physiotherapy. Don't wait like I did.

I always visit the neurology department at Aster Medcity for any nerve-related issues. You should ask your doctor clearly if this is from constipation pressure or a spinal issue, rather than guessing.

Actually yaar, it can happen. The pressure in your lower abdomen gets so bad that it pinches the nerves. But if it's a sharp, shooting pain, you should definitely check with a doc to be safe.

While there is a connection, any radiating nerve pain should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. It is best to get a proper clinical examination to rule out other spinal or nerve conditions.

I am also starting to feel this kind of leg numbness recently with my stomach issues. Does the leg pain usually start only after several days of constipation, or can it happen even on day one?
