Patient's question:
During a natural childbirth, I received a pain relief injection. It's been almost three months now, and sometimes my spine hurts, especially when I cough hard, it hurts around that area. This is happening at the injection site, and it can't be a side effect of the anesthetic injection, right? How should I treat this?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it may be a consequence of spinal anesthesia. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and apply local cold compresses. If the symptoms do not improve, you can visit an orthopedics department for a thorough examination and have a lumbar spine CT scan to determine the cause. In addition to immediate medical treatment, patients undergoing painless childbirth should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude is very helpful for the complete recovery from the illness.
