already moms that had epidural

[Chas4683]

My son was born the 28th of march , and I got a epidural  , right after he was born I had a pain on the left side of my neck that was really sore , we'll just yesterday that sore pain gas turned into the left side being stiff and very painful , I can't turn my head to the right & I also didn't have any swelling during my pregnancy & after the delivery as well my feet hands & face are very swollen , & it's been a week now .
Anyone else experience this ? Should I be concerned ?

Thanks ladies I'll update when I can , went to see my Dr today and he wants me to go to the emergency room , but I had Apts for my baby boy today and my husband ... lol it was Doctor day ! For us all ,  so I skipped out the hospital today .
But I definitely think the neck is associated with the epidural , & the swelling is associated with the pressure and stress of my delivery .

I had back issues up to 6 weeks after having an epidural.... pain and stiffness at the injection site... the neck pain could have been associated with how your neck was when you were pushing... I had extreme soreness and stiffness in my neck because of that

I've never experienced any pain, just bruising from the injection site. But after each of my kids I swell tremendously! I don't swell during pregnancy just after. My doc said it could be from all the fluid they pumped into you while in labor. But the only way to help rid it is elevate your feet and drink lots of fluids. It still lasted about a week with each delivery.

I never had any pain but post oartum I was massively swollen. They said sometimes your uterus falls back on you vena cava (big vein that carries blood away from legs and feet) and as your uterus gets smaller it will improve... as far as the pain is concerned call your Dr... good luck and keep us posted

I had an epidural with my baby 2 weeks ago and the only problems I had after was a sore back and bruising around the insertion sight. Went away after about 5 days.

I didn't have any pain after. I was felt totally normal.

I had an epidural my last pregnancy and had no problems at all. Only thing my sister ever experienced after one is bruising in the area. I would ask doctor about it.

I didn't have it to that extent I had a horrible pain under my left shoulder and it felt like a pinched nerve. It kind of felt like a icy/burning sensation that hurt. It went away after a few months. But your sounds pretty bad maybe tou should call the OB office just to see what they say.
