epidural

by emmanewrick, Jun 12, 2007 12:00AM
some years ago i had a bowel ressection and was given an epidural for pain relief which was put i when i was under aneasthetic.as soon as i was awake the staff at the hospital made me move around and i had to walk at least once a day even though i was in extreme pain(this was to help my recovery)
this was accepted by me but my question is ever since i came out of hospital i have had a constant headache.i have had every test you can imagine,done all the alternative therapys to no avail so now i just live with it.
my question is could have moving around with an epidural in my spine have damaged my spine in some way that is unable to be picked up by mri or xrays,therfore causing my constant headache?
