Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of suffering from spinal canal stenosis thus causing pain in the thighs and legs and buttocks while sitting in WC for passing motion/BM, Doctor has asked to wait for 6 weeks in hope of natural cure, taking painkillers without any help. Wants to know the best position to sit in WC...
As per the history you have provided, this is spinal canal stenosis that is causing pain in buttocks and legs in a particular position at toilet seat.
I would advise you to use Western style toilet and adopt the position which causes you least pain.
It is imperative to take laxatives to pass easy motion with ease and as early as possible in WC so that you get the least discomfort.
Get additional proper medication with review with your Neurosurgeon.
