Yep, 
but mine is mainly because of me having a Curved Spine,but the Epidural has made it WAY worse 😞Advil is the only thing that helps but I've read that it's VERY unsafe to take while pregnant. I'm 21.5 weeks and this has  been going on for a year now 😞any advice? I had no issues during my last pregnancy until I got the Epidural 😣I plan on not getting it this time ....This has been hell for me and I DO NOT want it to get worse.

Answer

I had one with both of my kids, with totally different experiences.  I was 23 when I had my son and couldn't feel anything after the epidural, to the point where I want and to walk on myown for a few hours. I had no pain after it wore off. At 29, I had my daughter and got an epidural. I do seem to remember the guy having a hard time putting it on, but it worked fine. Seemed to wear off quicker and I did have back pain for a few days but nothing permanent.  Not sure if it just depends on the anesthesiologist or age or what.

Answer

It can.

Answer

Every Now and then I feel that little sting where I got the epidural shot lol and then the memories come back but its not super painful

Answer

No people say it causes headaches after its similar to a lumbar puncture in that way I guess

Answer

Mine didn't! After they took it out I asked my husband if he could see where the needle went in and he couldn't even spot a mark on my back. I never had any bruising or pain from it! It was the best decision I made during labor!

Answer

I never got back pain from it.
