I lost the feeling in my legs and feet for five weeks with my son. I still have numb patches and can't feel my big toes and little toes on both feet. The calf muscles are extremely tight and painful.

I was released from the hospital with a walker.

I had neuropathy and foot drop in both feet from damage during labor, not the epidural. My epidural was administered perfectly with no side effects. It was how they had me positioned in labor which damaged my nerves.

I had a horrible migraine for two weeks because the anesthesiologist screwed up, buy 3 months is a long time to be having side effects. I would call a doctor and ask about it.
