Pain in fingers when waited too long to urinate or defecate

I get extreme pain in my right hand fingertips if I wait too long to use the restroom. The pain subsides when I do go. I have read about people who get the pain when they have waited too long and are releasing. Is this the same thing?

Answered by a doctor

So, this is weird but I have one small spot on my face, just under my eye on my cheek, that goes numb every now and then. I wasn't worried about it until I started getting a tight feeling in my chest regularly. They don't always happen at the same time, but both are a bit worrisome.

Answered by a doctor
