epidural spot pain

Amy8880

My LO is almost 7 weeks.  I had an epidural.  It took the anesthesiologist 3 tries to get it in the right place.  I have been having pain in the area this whole time, but now it seems to be getting worse.  Has anyone had any problems like this?  I didnt have any pain like this with my 4 yr old.

I had a rough epidural where they had to go up and retry at that level. I would get occasional....soreness it was more like feeling stiff but its gotten Fewer and shorter...if its getting worse id call your ob and ask if they want to see you our your general

My sister did. It took the anthestist (sp?) 3 tries as well to get it in. Her daughter is a year old and she still has pain from it.

My epidural went in "perfectly" and it does still hurt sometimes...not as often as my sister, but it is there sometimes.

Mine had to do it 2x, he warned me it could cause chronic back pain or headaches, I still wanted it! It hurt for a while but now it's rare for me thankfully.

I had an epidural too. The anesthesiologist got it right in, and even after 3 months of having my LO, I was still sore, especially when I leaned back. My OB said it was normal, and that it is like a bruise where the needle/catheter went in. My OB said she had one with one of her children, and it took her 6 months to feel completely normal again (with the epidural spot pain).

I would definitely talk to your doctor though.
