If you’re having pain I’d suggest getting it looked at by a GP, and hopefully they could point your where to go from there. I didn’t get an epidural because I was worried that I’d get paralysed (only happens to a limited number of people). The more pregnant I got, the more worked up I got about everything lol

Check with your obstrectian or family doctor . It could be the soreness from the needle but normally you have a followup after birth so see a GP asap if it is still sore after many weeks .

Tenderness which eventually dissipated – always check with your GP if concerned about back pain.

I did for a while but it is gone now, maybe see your doctor

Yeh only occasionally though. Not always

I would see what the doctor thinks

you could have some inflammation or a infection from where it went in

I had epidural and had back pain after that, Just notice that it’s gone now my daughter it’s nearly 4 in a few months

I’ve never heard of this linked to an epidural before, unless something went wrong with the epidural. I’d suggest seeing your doctor – there are an awful lot of causes of back pain.

Get it checked out by a doctor!

haven’t experienced this, maybe speak to a doctor for some tips

Before epidural i used to experience back pain.i got epidural exact four months ago.now also i have back pain if i bend for long time. Dont know whether it has any relation with epidural.i didn’t see any increase in my pain after epidural

Yes it’s quite common after an epidural. Have you tried massage or acupuncture? It might be worth a shot and hopfully you get a bit of relief.

I have the same problem STILL and i had an epidural nearly 7years ago now. Its horrible.

It is common to get back pain afterwards. I talked to a message therapist and she asked if there I had any sore spots and I do. Even to touch it can cause pain. She found a lot of woman have the same problem. Mine has eventually gotten better over time however but still sensitive from time to time. I have 2 epidurals. I had an emergency c section.

not the right person to answer this 🙁 sorry… inexperienced

yes I have had the same issue and 7 years on its still very bad to the point they have sent me for scans to make sure I had been given the epidural in the wrong part of my back as they did try 8 times to get it in.I have also been told losing abit of weight my help the back as when I had a c section your back carries a lot of the weight while your stomach recovers.

quite possibly but check with your doctor if it has not gone away soon.

I have never had an epidural but I do know that it is quite common to have back pain afterwards. If it is really bad then you can always mention it to your Doc just in case.

I struggle with back pain after my epidural, you can still feel exactly where they put the needle
