I have been in agony with my back and legs since giving birth 2 years ago. I was left unable to use my right leg for 3 weeks after birth of my last child. Had 2 MRI scans done one 6 days after giving birth, the other last month. Both show a hemangioma on my lower spine. Could this have been caused my the epidural injection? This is extremely wrong leaving me screaming in pain throughout labour, feeling like my right leg was being ripped away from my body.

Sounds terrible! I get numbness in my legs since having an epidural. I was pretty out of it when I signed the form but there were definitely a lot of potential risks listed. Have you been offered any treatment or pain management?

Ive been on pain medication and physio since April 2018. I had no problems with my other 2 children. But the labour with my 3rd was horrific. Literally my leg felt like someone was tearing it off.

Ive danced all my life and new suffered with my back of leg. Now I have the tumour in my spine that could of happened any time. And my right leg is 80% weaker than my left, it can't move against any resistance.
