does epidural turns into permanent backaches later on ????

my sister in law had her baby through VB and used Epidural. but since then she is having backapain. does anybody has the same experience? does epidural leads to permanent backaches??

I had epidural twice. My sil did twice as well. No permanent pain bt yes little especially when bending.

there is no medical evidence to prove epis cause permanent back pain.

I had epidural and still feel pain after 5 months. Its not all the time but during bending and when I am tired or walk alot. Ill never take it next time because its not a good idea to get pain relief for a few hours and end up in kind of long term pain.

I had an epidural with my second delivery, in fact, it was a complete spinal block and I’ve had no back pain whatsoever. It’s been 8 years.

No side effects here either.

No side affects. The back pain are from incorrect ways of picking up kids.. not taking better care of ourselves postpartum and just general tiredness.

I dont think that mine is due to some other fact because I can literally pin point that part of bone.

i had epidural more than 2 years ago, no back pain
but i do get pain in ribs or back when i sleep for longer hours, or when i am just being lazy lying in bed while baby is asleep but that can be because i am not used to being in bed for a long time.

I’d say, every medicine works differently on different patients. You should speak to your Doc who can guide you best according to you and your previous medical records.

No pain here either. It’s just over 2 years now.
