Pain an epidural site 3 and a half months postpartum?

Question

I am 3 and a half months postpartum with my second baby and the past few days I have had pain in the exact location where I had my epidural. It’s tender to touch and causes a dull pain when I move or lay on my back. I never experienced this with my first baby so not sure if it could be from the epidural or if it’s something else. Has anyone else had this?

Answer

Normal

Answer

Yes I did with my first - my osteopath said I'd probably had a contraction which made the muscles around the epidural site kind of seize up, which in turn pulled my coccyx & it was super painful for ages. She did sort it tho, so may be worth a trip

Answer

I’m a year postpartum and having the same.

Answer

I feel like I’m in the same boat. The area I got my spinal tap has been very sore.  I’ve been going to the chiropractor and doing yoga and the pain has eased slightly. I feel like all my muscles are so tense in that area. I didn’t have this issue when I had my first so not sure why it was an issue this time. My chiropractor has told me I need to build my abdominal muscles back up and that’s why the pain in my back has been worse 🤷🏻‍♀️ not sure but I think it’s a combo issue

Answer

I had to go all natural for my delivery because didn't have time for an epidural (just delivered November 1st), but from what I was told when I was planning to have an epidural is that there will be some slight pain but it should go away after a few days.
Epidurals do pose some risk of nerve damage, if you are experiencing any difficulty with movement on lower extremities then that is a cause for concern and you should go get checked. Nevertheless because it has been three months you should not really be experiencing pain from it still and I would suggest possibly calling your OB or going to get checked out just to be safe (never hurts!).

Any headaches with it?

Answer

Yes!!!! I'm 9months PP. And my back is horrible. I have severe pain where the epidural spot was. Hurts to bend. Everything. 
I've had 2 births with no epidural and one with. 
I'm pregnant again now. 14ish weeks. And I'm most definitely not getting another epidural. 
Idk what's causing this pain.
