Family practice : If you had an epidural then possibly you are taking a pain medication as well. This can cause constipation which will cause this type of pain. Diverticulitis is fairly common and can cause left lower quadrant pain. I don't think the epidural shot is causing the pain however. Check with your dr if it persists.
