Epidural and back pains?

[Angel2Fire]

I had an epidural in the later stages of labour, it was probably in half an hour max though.

Ever since, I've had really bad pains in my spine (where the needle went in.) It's almost 6 weeks since I gave birth and its still pretty bad. It tends to come and go, but hurts when I stretch and bend down as well.

Has anyone else had similar? Or know what it could be?

Thanks x

I had that too, I just had a spinal for a c-section though. I never had back pain when I was pregnant and the pain started a few days after my son was born. It's been a long time since I've felt it though so maybe it's like a bruise or something to the nerves?
