HI
Well come to HCM
Leg pain at the time of defecation is very unlikely, the only possibility of poor posture during toilet sitting that may be exerting some compression force on particular nerve system, so try to maintain good posture, this may not be normal and may not be abnormal but this need to be watched, hope this information helps, have a nice day
