Bcool, Being one of those old folks with chronic constipation I can relate to not sitting on the toilet too long. If I don't go within 5 minutes or so, I get up and ride my exercise bike for 20 minutes or so and try again. I also try not to cross my legs when sitting down as that seems to magnify the numb feelings.

I am a person who has dealt with constipation for a long time. It got worse when I was prescribed the drugs for neuropathy. What now works the best for me is about half a cup of prune juice warmed in the microwave. A nurse told me this secret when I was in the hospital. You really need to warm the prune juice up. It makes such a difference. Hope this helps someone.

Hi John!! Going to sit on my exercise bike?! Haven’t thought of that. Crossing my legs, I know is such a bad thing to do, but my legs just automatically do it! And I’m trying to remember not to do that so I appreciate your reply. And I hope you’re having a great day!!! Bcool difference
