Epidural side effects?

[Kayannie123]

Hi guys, just wondering has anyone experienced any issues since giving birth and having the epidural? Ever since I’ve had it, I’ve experienced aches and pains especially in my legs only 4/5 months postpartum I don’t know if it’s related to that, thanks guys 😊

very unlikely to be epidural related. If you're worried about symptoms your best bet is to see someone who can examine you and think about bloods and whatnot (but, aches and pains post partum are pretty common - giving birth is pretty physiologically challenging!). (DOI: obs anaesthetist)

@Greybeardy yes thanks for the reply, I have been so the doctors regarding leg pain and had blood tests, I had a very low vit D count he had to give me 20,000 units to take and I had very low iron my hemorrhage during child birth however I have been on medication for 3 months no change really

@Greybeardy due to hemorrhage**

I sometimes have achey thighs? I didn't have an epidural but feel it was related to my labour 16 weeks ago x
