Pressure And Numbness Followed By A Flash Of Nerve Sensation In Lower Abdomen When Having Flatus. Suggest
The last week every time I have flatus my left lower side radiates with a pressure and numbing sensation followed by a flash of a nerve sensation...I really do not know how to explain it but very 'weird' and I have never ever had it before. Mind you I have been in the middle of a move packing and loading boxes so am wondering if I did something?

Welcome to HCM.It would in all probability be secondary to irritation of the pudendal nerves which would give such symptoms.Lifting heavy loads from the ground with locked knees may tighten the pelvic muscles and strain the sacro-iliac region giving rise to such symptoms.Consulting a Sports medicine Doctor may help.use of muscle relaxants and analgeics or drugs like gabapentin may offer relief along with pysiotherapy for the lower back.
