Epidural side effects ??

Question

Hi ladies, so 1.5 months ago I had my baby. I got the epidural but it only worked on my left side. I felt that even though it was only working on that side it was way stronger than in my previous pregnancies and it obviously took longer for the numbness to go away (left side) than on my right side. Fast forward to today, I’ve been having way too much discomfort on my left leg it hurts when I walk and I can’t sleep on my left side because my leg hurts. Can this be an epidural side effect??

Answer

This can also happen from your spine not realigning properly after birth even if you dont get an epidural. I would try massage therapy focusing on the epidural site and left side. Half my foot was numb for months post birth, and in 2 sessions it was gone. But if it didnt work, a chriropractor was going to be my next try.

Answer

My back was in the worst pain.. even 1 year later.. the nurses blamed the epidural.. also i had really bad pain in both legs and feet for about 2 months.. stopped me from exercing a little.. i had a natural birth with my second and i have no back pain or any other complications.

Answer

Yes some of that happened to me …my leg would give out at random time, I felt it was hard for me to speak n my legs bothered me for awhile….that’s why I refused it for my other two pregnancy
