Answer preview
At times, urinary incontinence might result in a person experiencing some back pain (Dugger, 2018). However, the extent of the relationship between back pain and urinary incontinence is still getting explored to pinpoint, whether back pain leads to UI or urinary incontinence. This results in a patient experiencing back pain (Dugger, 2018). Decubitus ulcers are also excruciating, especially if they get infected or mishandled during dressing and treatment. In most cases, untreated pressure sores become open wounds, which might be quite painful when touched or exposed to stimuli.
