Hi! My name is crystal I went through a great 12 hour birth. My first was only 10 hours. And 30 mins of pushing this one was a girl and only 1 minute(s) of pushing. And it was great. My first I waited to have my epidural until 5 hours into labor, with this recent birth, I DID NOT WAIT. I got it almost immediately I believe 3 hours in, they started my labor with pitosin along with the epidural. And I had the epidural in for about 10 hours STRAIGHT. But last time it was only 4 hours total. And since I have came home from the hospital I have had SEVERE HEADACHES AND AT AROUND 7 or 8 pm every evening it turns into a migraine. I have one of the strongest migraine medications there is from a neurologist and it doesn’t even touch my migraines. There is seriously something wrong. And I have numbness and severe shooting pain in my hip every day. I fractured it about 3 years ago and knew I had some nerve damage there anyways I have been diagnosed with a permanent pinched nerve but, now it TERRIBLE SHOOTING PAIN in the front pelvic/ groom area around some kind of nerve and it’s severe pain. What do I need to do?

I have “severe spinal stenosis” and had an epidural injection for pain relief in April, 2018 and
have been having lateral pain from the epidural site down my legs ever since. Actually, I experienced excruciating (to put it modestly) pain during the injection and I spontaneously hollowed out more than once, but the doctor kept pushing the needle more into my nerves as I was hollowing. When I first tried to stand up about an hour after the injection, I experienced immobilizing excruciating pain from the site of the injection down my hip and leg, worse on right side. I could not stand up when the nurse or assistant asked me to stand, so she told me to sit back down. In another 1/2 hour or so I tried to stand again and again experienced excruciating pain on right side. I was discharged and two days later I experienced sudden immobilizing pain in right leg (same site of initial pain). Got to see the referring physician (Same group of services as the injecting doctor) who gave me very high power medicine which relieved the pain while I was taking it (two weeks). Since then, I have been having recurring pains and sometime immobilizing. Have seen the referring physician once more since the injection and he prescribed another medicine which is not relieving the pain. I am convinced that I have permanent nerve damage that I have to endure the rest of my life. I am an active 83 year old, (who is usually thought to be not over 60 by doctors and others)but activities are being curtailed now after the doctor inflicted nerve damage, which will probably shorten whatever time I had left, because of having to curtail activities that are vital to my well being and were serving me well, as well as loss of sleep due to pain.
I don’t know what was documented in the medical records about the incident and follow up visits, but I plan to request the records. Incident, I am an RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator).

I got the epidural in Michigan. (11-14-2017)
My back hasn’t been the same since I can’t sleep comfortably I can’t sit or stand for a long period of time , stretching hurts trying to turn my body is the worst pain . Sometimes I feel like if I move the wrong way I’ll paralyze myself. I remember getting the shot & I & my fiance also remember the nurse going to far into my back hitting a vein causing me to bleed and having to get the epidural pulled out some because she went to far . Seeking help before it get worst than what it is now

I dont know if there is a time limit on something like this…I don’t even know if it is even from the epidural. However, I do remember extremely well the hospital I gave birth at…as threatening as they were with everything and how I literally would have died from postpartum cardiomyopathy if not for St. Dominic’s hospital in Jackson, MS. The place I gave birth at though was Women’s Hospital at River Oaks. They didn’t even ask me if I wanted the epidural. They just assumed since it was an emergency C-Section that I would need it. I felt literally everthing even after the narcissistic woman finished making it clear to me it was my fault I couldn’t hold still (I was holding still!) for the doctor to administer the epidural and that he would only try one more time. Then before they did the c-section, he asked me in a serious manner if I wanted a tattoo. “Well, now’s your chance. A lot of women get one that have never had one before during this time. No? Okay then. You sure?” YES IM POSITIVE!! Anyway…before and after everything, I made it clear to them that I was having a lot of difficulty breathing. Their response was by threatening to shove a breathing tube down my throat saying that can cause a lot of issues I don’t need and that I needed to pass the breathing exercise if I didn’t want that. This was 2013. I remember being released on Tuesday then Thursday how I went back to the hospital (River Oaks Hospital this time, not the Women’s Hospital at River Oaks). I sat there for THREE HOURS just for them to lie to my friend and say they had taken me back to do xrays. Shortly after I told my friend let’s just go. That was a Thursday night. I woke up Friday at 4AM not being able to breathe literally at all almost and arrived at St. Dominic’s hospital around 5AM then by 5:30 is when I was diagnosed with postpartum cardiomyopathy…ejection fraction was at 25%. Anyway, sorry. Irrelevant. Back to the entire point. The Women’s Hospital at River Oaks that administered the epidural…I have had entire right sided body pain…my neck, my back, my chest, my arm…it feels like nerve damage or something. Could it be neurological? I don’t know. I just know how long I’ve been looking for answers and no one seems to be able to help me but I honestly strongly believe it could very well be linked to the epidural. Just saying. All I want is my health back. I didn’t always used to be like this. My son deserves better. I have a job, I have insurance, I’m not a deadbeat but I sure feel like it lately with the way my health is declining. Please help if you think it is the epidural!

Hi me and my girlfriend had a child 8 years ago and when they did that epidural they stuck to needle in her back 3 times witch resulted in the right side of her face drupping as if she had a stroke we consulted the doctor and they just kept upping the medicine now eight years later she is blind in her center vision in her right eye and all kinds of other back problems we called a attorney and they said there is nothing they could do but all the hospitals around here said it couldn’t be caused from the epidural but when she went to a disability doctor they told her they can’t put it in writing but they believe all her problems stem from the epidural could you give me a idea what we should do because it seems every year she has more problem and nobody will admit that it all started from the epidural if you could please get back to me I would appreciate it thank you sincerely rubert chase
