Patient's question:
During a cesarean section, I received spinal anesthesia multiple times, and they also used a pain pump. Just three months later, my back started to ache and feel numb, making it difficult to get up at night and causing pain even when bending. Usually, the pain occurs at night. What could be the reason for this? Is there any solution? I am very anxious. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
After epidural anesthesia, the recurrence of lower back pain may be caused by post-anesthesia lower back pain. This is the most common complication of epidural anesthesia and is more pronounced during weather changes.Recommendations:
- Engage in more activities, such as running or playing basketball.
- Eat more vegetables and fruits.
- Avoid exposure to cold.
- Sleep on a hard mattress.
- Consider massage therapy.
- If the pain is severe, take pain relievers orally, such as Fenke tablets or Zhuangyao Jianshen pills.
- Wishing you a speedy recovery.
For severe cesarean section patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
It is hoped that the above information will be helpful to you. Thank you.
