It has been two months since i had a baby using epidural anesthesia. They tried two times to get it right when they put epidural anesthesia. Last one month I have been having back pain. I heard that epidural causes back pain.... anybody has encountere this issue ? any suggestions ?

Although I never experienced anything that I would consider extreme pain after my epidural, I would say that I sometimes felt a twinge or "weakness" in my lower back for about six months after the birth of my child. I would suggest bringing it up to your doctor at your next visit, just to be sure everything is ok. Good luck to you and your baby.

My daughter had one 5 years ago and still has back pain,,,sorry, don't want to make you feel worse,,,just know it may be there, and take some asprin and put a heating pad on it.

My first pregnancy I went all natural and for my second pregnancy I had the spinal epidural. Since, 3 years ago I've had but horrible back pain and ache all the time. I have tried several things to make it better, but every attempt fails. If I take long walks, stand or sit for long periods of time I am in trouble for the rest of the day. This is the worst pain I've ever endured. It is so uncomfortable. There's really no relief except pain pills.

WOMEN who want an epidural anaesthetic during childbirth should not be afraid that it will trigger back pain later on, say doctors in the US. Back pain after childbirth is common, affecting between a quarter and a half of women, sometimes for as long as 18 months. However, researchers at Harvard University Medical School in Boston have found no link between this pain and epidurals.

I don't mean so scare you, but, I had an epidural with my son and I still experiencing sever back pain. My son is now 28, will be 29 this summer. At times I can't bend my chin to my chest because I can feel it in my back. Doctors can't help.Good luck!!!!

Out of four children I only used the epidural once. Afterwards I would get shocks of pains in my back for about 8 mos. (This is why I didn't go back for anymore epidurals. "Natural" childbirth is over and done with so much quicker!!)
