Hard answer: We could have complication from delivery or from epidural block. Usually the complication from epidural are not common and most of the healed by this time. Abscess& hematoma. The side complication from delivery, uti, infection some were in the productive system. Check with your obgy if he say your okay, then go the epidural block complication.Thank.

See your doctor: Nothing you have said is cause for immediate medical concern but if you want to get to the bottom of it, you should see your doctor. I know a lot of women have concern that the epidural is cause for their back pain. However, research suggests this is not the case. In general, a labor epidural does not cause chronic low back pain.
