A member asked:
Since my epidural 5 years ago, my lower back goes out once in a while. i can't get out of bed or bend?

Unlikely: Very unlikely this is related to the epidural. Maybe related to the conditions of your body at the time you needed the epidural. Was it given for delivery? This intermittent pain sounds musculoskeletal which the epidural would not have affected. I hope this helps you. Dr. C
