I have a herniated disc can it cause me to leak urine when i dont know it ? And can the pain from it cause my blood pressure to go up ? i am on meds for my pressure but they only work for a short time. On meds my pressure is still at times in 180/106..
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, herniated disc at the level of lumber vertebrae can cause urinary incontinence. So your urine leak without knowing you is due to herniated disc. Chronic pain causes stress on the body. This continuous stress causes sympathetic over activity and this in turn causes rise in blood pressure. So your uncontrolled blood pressure is also due to pain because of herniated disc. So pain management is very important to control your blood pressure. Along with this, you will also need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Consult pain specialist for local steroid injection for better pain management. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
