can epidural cause persistent back pain. i've never had any back pain until i had my children and received an epidural injection and now if i sit or stand to long or fold laundry my shoulders and back hurt. they hurt worse when cleaning up such as washing dishes mopping sweeping etc. i have worked out before and it didn't hurt til finished. it feels as if it is stiff and needs to be popped/stretched out dr says just take tylenol but nothing seems to really help.
my daughters had epidural during the delivery of their babies and have had back pain ever since. so i would say yes they do cause back pain.
