Back pain after an Epidural

Many of us don't realize how much we use our backs, or how important spine care and health is for daily living until we somehow injure our backs in auto accidents, playing sports, or as the result of old lifestyles and living habits. The spine is a vital aspect of movement; without a spine, we would not be able to bend over and touch our toes, turn sideways, or anything - without a spine, we are rendered motionless.

The spine is the protective bony casing for the spinal cord, the nerve pathways that connect every part of the body with the brain. The spinal cord tells our muscles and bones how to move, to react to pain, to bend, twist, walk and wiggle our little finger. Spine care health is essential for optimal health and fitness, but a multitude of injuries and disease processes can affect the spine.

Unfortunately it is one of the complications / side effects of an epidural. It can be permanent, but I would have it looked at if I where you, it might have injured the lining around the spinal column and maybe it is fixable.

Thanks Es

I do..... Its not a constant throbbing pain, but if dh rubs my back, its very sore in that area. And my last one was more than 6y ago.

Ladies, those that have had an epidural (like 4/5 years ago), do any of you ever suffer with pain in that area? So many years later?
