A member asked:
Is it possible to be unable to walk, have urinary incontiency, because of piriformis syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See her doctor!: Urinary incontinence is unlikely to be caused by piriformis syndrome. It is more likely to be a sign of worsening back pain unrelated to the piriformis muscles. You should see your family practice doctor since you are describing red flags for worsening back pain.
