I have numbness and tingling after epidural?

See below: The epidural space is home to several nerves that travel into your legs. It is not uncommon to have temporary numbness and tingling in your legs after an epidural. If this lasts more than a few days see your physician.

Likely temporary,: But if persists longer than 2-3 days, contact your doctor and get this checked out.

What to do: An epidural should cause numbness but this should wear off as the medicine is metabolized. If the symptoms last longer than 24 hours, inform your anesthesiologist, they may want for you to undergo studies or a consultation with another medical provider.
