</ion-content>
</ion-side-menu>
it only showing the side menu button back button is missing?
I think you are having the same problem as this guy Ionic side menu not present on each view
If you look at the answer it tries to place the side menu button and the back button in the same place but can only show one at a time, you will either need to change where the buttons are so they dont overlap using some css directives instead of the javascript ones, or just add another button somewhere else on the page. Hope this helps!
