Q: Help-spinal Block Causing Back Problems?
asked by: Chinarose on March 11th, 2004

I had a partial hysterectomy 10 months ago. I was given general anestesia and a spinal block. I was heavily sedated when they gave me the block so I don't remember much. But I remember first a sharp pain that made me jump and then the anestesiologist said I was going to have to repossion myself. (i don't remember exactly what he told me to do.) in the recovery room I laid there in extreme pain. Not in my stomach where I had been cut open but in my back. I felt like my back was arched the whole time. Ever since i've had back pain in my upper lower and lower back.Sometimes when I lay down on my back I have pain and it feels like my back is arching though it is not. And sometimes when I bend over I get a sharp pain in my back. Then it hurts everytime I bend over for days and sometime when I try to pick up things like a gallon of milk(and i'm not even bending my back). I wake up with back pain. What is wrong? I think something went wrong with the spinal block. And is there anything that can be done about it? Also what tests could a doctor do to find out what could be wrong?Thank you for any information you can give! Smile

Tests etc I know not of but suggestions to help relieve the pain I can give - dhea & a combined tablet twice a day of 700-1000mg each of chondriotin & glucosamine also calcium. All are natural supplements & I am told by a dr won't interfere with any meds.

Back Pain From Spinal Block
I had a spinal block for a c-section and about 2 months later my spine started aching and it's been almost 7 months now and it still hurts just as bad, sometimes worse. It hurts everyday. I have the pain mostly in the same spots as you and sometimes it feels like I have a pinched nerve on either side of my tailbone. Mine also hurts when I bend over or lay down, also when I lean back on something and when I sit certain ways. If I do have to bend over for something, I have to straighten very slowly. I would love to know what could be wrong, how to figure it out and how to fix it. The doctors i've seen so far do not take me seriously. I do not want medication for it, I just want to fix it.
