I had an epidural with my first child born
in 1994. Something went wrong with it.
Shortly after they inserted it the whole
left side of my face and my eye started
drooping and my vision was blurry in that
eye. When I told the nurses, they got
the anesthesiologist to come in. She
asked me if I was having trouble breathing
and I said no but told her of the other
problems. Also I was not numb at all
where I was suppose to be. She didn't
do anything and left it there the whole
time, said just to let her know if I had
any trouble breathing. I felt everything
including the episiotomy (they did give me
a local anesthetic) which I also felt.
My problem is this: ( I have just
recently made a connection to the
epidural) within one year of having my
child I was having back pain in the area
that the epidural was inserted at. I have
been to at least two different
chiropractors over the years which seem to
help for awhile but it eventually gets
back just like it was. From time to
time I have had bad hip pain and something
that feels like sciatic nerve problems.
Where my leg/hip hurts where I can't lift
it up at all. I am just wondering if
anyone else has experienced this or might
have an insight into what exactly
happened. I'd also like to know what I
can do to help correct the problem.
Thanks
