Gave birth normal delivery on the 29th february and had an epidural but now i struggle with terrible throbbing headaches every time i lie down or early hours of the morning and neck pain, what could be the cause and how do i resolve this... thank you?

Epidural ?'s: An epidural anesthetic involves placing a syringe into the epidural space near the spinal cord, which can cause a leak of spinal fluid, causing headaches as described. Call the OB physician and ask about his/her arranging for a "blood patch" to be put on the site of the epidural anesthesia puncture, which will significantly relieve your headaches.
