A member asked:

Compression Fracture: Compression Fractures may be related to pregnancy due to weight gain and posture but very unlikely to have anything to do with epidural/spinal anesthesia. During this procedure the anesthetic is placed between the vertebrae. Bones should not be involved.

Should check it out: Compression fractures in the spine were not caused by the "spinal" from your C-section. They are often seen in post menopausal women who have osteoporosis, or after a traumatic event such as a motor vehicle accident. However, there are many causes for compression fractures, some of which can be of a serious nature. Unless you have a known explanation, I would have this checked out further.
