Footdrop after labor??

Question

Hi ladies, so I was induced 10/09 at 5pm got an epidural and didn’t have baby until 1pm 10/10. Well I’m not sure what happened, but I ended up with footdrop due to nerve damage , doc said it was not the epidural he advised it was from compressing a nerve. Till this day I cannot feel my right foot.! Has anybody ever had something like this?? 
I’m just so desperate and feel helpless 😩💔

Answer

I did. But mine had to do with sciatica pinched at my hip not my back. Physically Theraphy helped a lot by 90 percent. Cause I was starting to not feel my left leg. I would almost fall if I tried to put my weight on it. But now it’s 90percent back to normal. You should see a chiropractor and a physical therapist. See them asap as well so it doesn’t become permanent. I also thought it was the epidural in my case by it wasn’t. I am not saying your case isn’t but still see these people.

Answer

I had the exact same thing back with my third child. They said i pinched a nerve while pushing probably. I had to wear a boot for a month then it took.a few more months with physical therapy before everythingwas like normal again. Im sorry
