my back is killing me...lol
its not my spine though...more the sides of my back, i'm not sure whether this is residual side effects of the epi or if i just pushed myself too hard yesterday because i def. did do too much yesterday.
how long should NORMAL back pain last after having a baby and getting an epidural (i'm not meaning chronic side effects, just normal pain you experience after having a baby and a huge needle in your spine) lol
also, yesterday my tongue was halfway numb for a couple hours...is this a probleM?

Well I don't know about the tongue thing, so I won't comment on it, but as far as your back… sounds like what you're feeling is normal, especially if you exerted yourself yesterday!
I had pain in my back from the epi for about 2 weeks afterwards I believe. After that had gone, I still had massive pain in my back when I laid down and could only sleep on my sides, not my stomach. I did research on it, and saw that it's normal because your abdominal wall is shot after having a baby. It cleared immensely once I started doing crunches and building my abs back up (granted I didn't start til 6 months post partum).
