Could be serious: Your symptoms sound like a result of a herniated disk that is causing actual dysfunction of some nerves, If so, the situation should be addressed quickly as some changes may become permanent if left untreated. You need a spine specialist to guide you. Depending on your community, this will be either be an orthopedist or neurosurgeon.

Spinal disc problems: The biggest concern here is a bladder problem. If you mean a loss of control of the bladder hopefully your MRI was reviewed by a spinal specialist. It sounds like you have a disc problem in the upper part of the lower back or lower part of the mid back.
