[|Human|] I have a history of back problems and reoccurring. I cant hold my bladder anymore I have been wetting myself almost all the way while running too the bathroom and it comes on so sudden. Could this be related too my back? I have lower back problems and swollen from my lower back too my hips. Pain and swelling in left hip and pain radiates down left leg?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, a history of back problem and loss of bladder control are interrelated. The urinary bladder is controlled by the spinal cord. Any damage to the spinal cord affecting spinal nerves (S1, S2 and S3) will affect the function of the urinary bladder. This condition wherein the bladder empties spontaneously, is called automatic bladder. You need to visit a neurologist for clinical examination, investigations of the spine to know any disease process at the spinal level. Management will depend on the type of lesion at the spinal level. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
