I had an epidural On January 5th before delivering my child. This epidural didn t take and the anesthesiologist had lost of difficulties with me. I ve had 2 prior 4 years ago, the 1st one didn t take so the anesthesiologist at that time removed it and replaced it, and it took the 2nd time. I m concerned that all the difficulties this doc had this time affected my epidural and caused it not to take. My problem now is recurring neck and back pain from nape of neck, down to my tailbone. Could this be from the multiple epidurals?
Hello, As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression.  For that, you can take tablet Motrin. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment. Heating pads will also help.  You may require MRI neck and back region, nerve conduction studies after consultation. Keep your self HY Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
