Recovery Question

Hi, I have not posted in here before. I posted a few times back when I was pregnant in J14 but my baby ended up being born in Feb. Anyway, I am planning on a seeing a doc for this but thought I would get some input from other moms in the meantime. 

I had a standard epidural, no complications, but in the past 2 months my back, specifically my spine right in the area where my epidural was, is KILLING me. Hurts to move. It's tender to the touch, almost like a bruise. Nothing feels different to the touch, though. Just wondering if anyone else who had an epidural has had any lingering back pain??

  • evvvvvvvery now and then my back will hurt in the spot where i got my epidural. mainly when I'm bent over for too long cleaning or something. i would definitely bring it up. i have a friend who has back problems that stem from her epidural too.

  • Good to know...now that I am delving into an internet search about this, it seems to be a common occurrence and can be chronic - lifetime! I hate Google. Oh well. Epi was worth it, mostly.
  • I still have pain/stiffness in my back, not constantly though. I generally feel it when I bend backward or lay on my stomach. It feels like I can pinpoint where my epidural was given.
