Question mostly for women who have given birth
though I know there will be others that would be able to answer but in general they might have a better idea. Also, men..don't say you haven't been warned.
Ladies...have you had an epidural and if you did what temporary side effects did you have afterwards and how long did it take for them to go away?
I had to go back in the hospital the other night because I wasn't feeling good and they gave me an epidural to do one proceedcure. They had to go in a number of times and I bled a good deal on my back and it is very black and blue. However, my calves are really aching. They feel like they would the day after I ran or walked a lot. I called the doctor and he said I shouldn't really worry about a blood clot since they both feel that way. I thought maybe it was because when they were numb and I was trying to move them I must have been using the muscle a lot even though I didn't feel it but they are really feeling very tight and making it hard to sleep, etc.
I go back in this weekend for the last bought but shouldn't require me to to be put under at all so i will get them to look at them if they still hurt but man my back looks like i have had the crap beaten out of me.
Is this normal?
