A member asked:

Numbness/tingling of inner portion of big toes (bilateral): is this a temporary side effect of a combination epidural (from 2 weeks ago)?

Dr. Ki-Hon Lin answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Doubtful: For the most part, I would expect any side effects from an epidural to have resolved by the 2 week point. I think it's more likely that your symptoms arise from the underlying spinal pathology that caused you to seek treatment in the first place. Your treating physician will be in a better position to clarify this.
