Back Pain Before Bowel Movement

There are a lot of people who have suffered from severe back pain in the lower back due to bowel movements. Frequently back pain before a bowel movement is caused because of constipation and exercising a lot of stress on the movement. There are various forms of lower back pain and the bowel movements have been linked as one of the most common forms of back pains here. It has been seen that there are conditions like disc herniations, which involve neurologic damage, and require immediate, specialized treatment.

Usually the pain in the back before a bowel movement can also be connected to the vertebral misalignment, or sub-luxations. This problem occurs when the lower back is prone to chronic postural stress or a strain. Hence the result is that the joints between the vertebrae lock up and the surrounding muscles may tighten and nerves become irritated. This leads to pain for long periods of time until they deteriorate into degenerative arthritis. Then the other cause of these pains can also be sprains.

Often sprains of the lower back results due to over stressing the muscles because of a physical activity or imbalanced posture. When you are about to clear your bowel, then there are contracting movements here which aggravates strains and leads to further pain. There are as well some milder strains, which resolve within a few days with rest. However, if this problem persists, then the pain caused before the bowel movement is not because of the strain or pain, but due to internal problems.

It has been seen that in constipation periods, the back is strained the most, as the muscle are always contracting. This leads to a lot of stress and pressure on the back and can lead to severe health problems. In such cases, the back pain can only be treated, if the problem of constipation is taken care of. Hence you should confirm that you eat more of fibrous foods and materials, to ensure smooth passage for bowel movements, and therefore reduce the stress on the back.

Facet syndrome is one more cause of pain and the small joints in the back of the spine are called facet joints, which allow movements. But due to chronic poor posture or over exertion, these facet joints may develop arthritis. Hence this is a permanent problem for the back and cannot be effortlessly treated. As well the herniated or bulging disc causes pain in the back. When the cushion between the spinal bones gets weakened, because of any physical injury or degenerative disc disease, then the pain in the back persists for a longer period.

The pain that travels down the buttocks and posterior thigh, and as well covers the lower leg and the foot is called sciatica. This is another common problem for pain in the back before bowel movements. There are also extremely high risks that there could be a tumor in the back or in the internal organs, which is not allowing the passage of stools. Hence you should make sure that you consult a doctor if you continue to feel the pain in the back, before bowel movements, for a very long time.
