I gave birth to my first baby on 10/12/2014. I had gas and air, then morphine, then an epidural, which worked better on the left side of my body. After 9 hours I wasn't dilating enough, baby's heart rate was dropping, so I was rushed in for a C-section, I was under general anaesthesia.
Ever since I have had numbness and dull feeling in my right leg, my right arm and the right hand side of my face is slightly numb too, I have lost feeling in parts of my body and its so frustrating.
A neurologist I've seen said its not from an epidural, then another neurologist said an epidural can cause this.
I am waiting for an MRI scan. I have been told it should just go away on its own. But I have no guarantees......I am a nervous wreck :( I am very upset over it.
Has anyone had anything similar? Does it go away?
Thank you
