lower back pain hips groin
Is it possible that a spinal epidural (for pain relief) can cause permanent weakness or numbness in the legs?
Had 2 epidurals for lower back/hip/groin pain in 8 days. Since the second shot (which was about a month ago), I am barely able to walk due to my knees buckling. Also, if a doctor prescribes a second epidural because the first one seemed to help the pain somewhat, shouldn’t the second one be done no sooner than 2 weeks after the first one?
Thank you.
It is possible that a spinal epidural could cause permanent weakness and numbness in the legs if the catheter used for the epidural moved, or if they didn’t get the right area.
I have the link to a site that may help you find even more information. If interested please feel free to e-mail or IM me off site any time.
