I had an epidural in December, they said they had a problem locating the area but never told me why. After an hour and a half of them trying 25 attempts to get it, it was placed. Now I have numbness in the middle of my spine just below my shoulder blades, along with a sharp pain in my lower back that radiates into my thigh and lingers for like 30 minutes. My back hurts to bend over at work, to pick up my son, and to sit it just aches and burns.
