Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Evaluation: My concern is that there may some neurological issue that caused back pain requiring the medication and that now that neurological issue is causing incontinence. Have your primary care doctor or neurologist evaluate your back pain to make sure nothing is going on with the nerves that control the bladder.
