I had my baby 3 months ago and right when I got out of the hospital started having upper & lower back pain, burning sensation on skin, pins and needles, electric-shock sensations, and little twitches all over body.
I have been to 2 neurologists, aside from the normal MRI and nerve conduction tests, a spinal tap showed inflammation and the neurologist said it could be from the epidural.
Although the burning sensation is nearly gone and the twitching has slowed down a lot, I still get the other symptoms with no sign of them improving.
I am so depressed from thinking I will be dealing with these symptoms forever. I am only 27 years old and did not expect this to happen. I regret every single day about getting the epidural, although I ended up having a c section anyway and needed it. I wanted to be able to look back on the birth of my son and see it as a joyful time, not one filled with pain, depression and anxiety.
Any words on how to get through this would be well appreciated. Thank you.
