What Causes Severe Back Pain And Urinary Incontinence?

I am five foot one and a half, 115lbs, I have two thirty degree curves of scoliosis, and I have been having back pain for a year or so now, sometimes I can t feel fingers, I get shooting pains down my back, arms, and legs, and I have had sharp, stabbing pains in my back and muscle spasms. I have also had issues with urine leakage. What should I do and how do I manage the pain?

1. It probably seems that scoliosis has affected your bladder i.e. neurogenic bladder disorder.

2. although scoliosis itself doesn't cause bladder problem but severe scoliosis may damage the spinal cord [spinal stenosis] and may damage the organs innervated by the nerves and incontinence is one of them

PS. you should also know about other symptoms which are caused by scoliosis like: sexual dysfunction, weakness/numbness or tingling in legs.

3. Consult with an Orthopedic Surgeon for further necessary examination and investigation.
