Hello i had a c section 3 yrs ago. i have back pain and feet are numb and painful could the spinal epidural cause this this late after my c section?

Get medical eval to: know. One possible cause is the scarring resulting from the C-section. I am not referring to just the external scar but to the layers of scarring deep to that. In acupuncture we use needles with and without electric stimulation and scar injection (but not with steroids) to decrease inflammation. Start with eval by your physician.
