How long does anesthesia complications associated with c-section complications last?

It depends: On what the complications are. Speak with your anesthesiologist and ob. They should be able to help you.

No complications: Usually there are no complications associated with anesthesia for c-sections. However, depending on the type of anesthetic there can be short term complications. For general anesthesia, the most frequent complications are nausea and vomiting and sore throat, muscle aches. For neuroaxial (spinal or epidural) the most frequent complication is a severe headache (called a post dural headache).

1 - 2 days: Most of the anesthetic issues in c-section cases result form the use of local anesthetics. These can last for no more than 2 days. If you have problems lasting longer than that please contact you anesthesiologist so you can be evaluated.

Need more info: Do you currently have a complication? Although complications are rare, there are many possibilities. A headache from the placement of the epidural; a reaction to one of the meds used-and there are varying reactions/side effects. Numbness in the legs from positioning or from a nerve that was injured during the anesthetic. And then there are the complications from the surgery.
