A member asked:
My father had a hernia surgery they gave him an epidural now three days after his surgery area doesn't hurt really. it's his lower back when he lays

Other symptoms: How bad is the back pain? Some soreness at site of epidural normal for several days to a week. If pain 5/10 or higher, or if he also has headache, suspect spinal fluid leak at site of epidural and needs to see doctor.
