Does anyone know the reason for severe upper back pain during labor?
November 26th, 2011
human being asked:
I had an epidural, but the pain seemed to start before that and get progressively worse. The doctors did not seem to know what to do. They reluctantly gave me some type of pain killer before my C-section (they didn’t want it to affect the baby). The doctors/nurses guessed it was from the epidural or the baby pressing on a nerve. Has anyone had this? I’m afraid to have another baby! (I also had lower back pain for a good week after labor.)
My baby was face up.
The epidural did work on the lower part of my body.
