Pain at Site of Epidural

I have been feeling like my back is bruised at the spot that I received my epidural.  Any one else experience this or know it it's temporary?  So annoying!  I notice it most when I'm trying to do crunches or if I arch my back, but it seems like lately I notice it even more than normal even when I just do every day things.

Re: Pain at Site of Epidural

  • I have a dull ache there.  I attribute in part to the epi (spinal) and also the just menstrual like backache that comes with my uterus shrinking back down.  I'm only 11 days PP.

  • I have it too... but not every day. But every once in awhile, I wake up and it's kinda sore.

    Yep, feels almost like a bone bruise.  Comes and goes

  • I have a hard bump under the skin at the injection site.

    Yep. It bites.  I can't speak to whether it goes away but I've had less time post partum than you.  Maybe ask on one of the later boards?  I should ask my fellow 24+'s
  • Mine hurt at first too.  I can't remember how long but it doesn't anymore, so yes, it does go away, mine did anyway.  =)
