Q: Can't Walk After Havin Baby

Hello,

I am new here so I apologize if I am in the incorrect field/forum for my question.
My sister in law gave birth Sat Sept 22nd and it's Tues Sept 25th and she still can't walk - my brother is going crazy because of fear - the doctors can't find what is wrong....does anyone have any suggestions ??
My sister in law had a MRI done today but the doctors are not talking to my brother or her right now about it

If anyone has had this happen or has a suggestion on what is happening, please advise.

thanks,
sunnie

did she have an epidural? that's the only time i've ever heard of someone being paralyzed after birth, and it's just temporary.

i'd assume if she had an epi the doctors would have already checked into this.

Hi, I've never come across anything like this before, & the only thing I can think of is that it could be psychological. Did she have a natural delivery?
