I gave birth on the 12th of this month, and two days ago started experiencing severe backaches.. like pulsing muscles cramping up in my back.. it's really hard to describe. I can't stand up or sit down without screaming in pain.. it only happens every once in a while, but it's very bad. my dr has told me that I need to go to the hospital to find out whats going on and I am going tomorrow, but before I go, I wanted to see if this has ever happened to anyone else.
my dr never suggested that it could have been the epidural, but I have suspicions that it might be.
just wondering if any of you have gotten side effects from an epidural, and if you did, what were they?

I didn't have an epidural but I did have a spinal for a c-section (second section) almost 5 months ago and this time I have had a dull backache ever since.
If it's severe you definately need to be seen and make sure you mention that you had the epidural on the 12th!
Best of luck to you!
