complications after an epidural nerve block

I had nerve a block done several days ago,  right after the never block I had a problems walking.  My legs are very very very weak. I dont believe that I have a fever nor do I have a headache.  Do you have any idea what the problem could be.  I feel as if I am carrying around 50 lbs on  my legs.

I was just reading on nerve blocks and one of the possible temporary side effects is weakness. I think you are ok as long as your pain has not increased, you don't have a fever or other symptoms you did not have before the epidural.
If it persists or you are worried call the Pain Clinic for reassurance.
Hope you feel better!
