What Causes Constant Diarrhea, Frequent Kidney Infections And Back Pain?

I have sciatica, fibromyalgia, bulging disc @ L4-5, degenerative disc disease, severe nerve damage. Question is .. constant diarrhea, I have to wear an adult diaper because of 'leakage', but also I seem to keep getting kidney infections, burning when I urinate, severe lower back pain, nausea. Any ideas on what all this could be? please... I probably misspelled some of this. I apologize

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This could be conus medullaris syndrome. That is compression of nerves by bulgng disc. So your bowel and urinary bladder are not under proper nerve control. So they keep leaking. Meet a spine surgeon. Get an ultrasound scan of kub. Urine retention in the bladder causes repeated infections. you need to get intermittent bladder self catheterisation to empty the bladder. Consult your doctor to get trained for self catheterisation of bladder.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
