After effects of epidural

1 reply

I had a cs with my ds 12 days ago and although I feel ok overall, I have an odd sensation half way down my back. It doesn't hurt - it just feels like a kind of pressure, as if something is pressing lightly on my back.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that this kind of odd feeling can be an after effect of having an epidural - just wondered if this happened to anyone else and if it did, did it go away of its own accord or should I worry?

Thanks very much

Ah yes haematoma of the dural space is I believe the technical term. Take paracetamol and it'll go away in another few weeks.
