Perineal pain, incontinence, ED

I got hit by a car last year, i was fine other than lower back pain. 8 months later i have been having severe Perineal pain and problems retaining urine. it is made worse when I defecate or have sex (getting an erection) and it has caused a lot of erection issues. Urologist said everything looks ok, but it is painful and embarrassing because i have to wear protection day and night and I cannot get the pain to subside. I have tried Sitz bath, heating pad and ice pack. i have been taking higher doses of tylenol. i cannot use aspirin (allergy) I am on medicaid, just moved so i am between getting new coverage between states

Hi,
   You should consult a neurologist, better to go to a multispeciality hospital as you can get diagnostic help from different departments.

The lower back, just above the tail bone area of the spine is from where the nerves connecting to all perineal floor organs vize, anus, penis, prostate and scrotum skins originate. Also, the pudental veins and arteries connecting to these organs are routed through the lower back of our body. Any injuiry to the lower back can therefore affect the functioning of these organs. I suspect, there could be some untreated damage to your lower spine area. You may need a detailed MRI or CT scan to diagnose and treat the problem.

Better consult a doctor from a well equipped hospital early, than wait for  your isurrance to be through.

Good luck,
Solace
