Does lower back pain occur after getting an anesthetic injection?

Patient's question:

The baby was born on the 19th, weighing six pounds and two ounces. The amniotic water broke two weeks early. At 9 a.m. on the 19th, I received the induction of labor medication, and then gradually felt contractions. At 3:30 p.m., I entered the delivery room, received an epidural, and the baby was born at 4 p.m. They said the epidural had no side effects, but now it's been 11 days, and I experience pain in the right side of my waist when bending or twisting, making it impossible to sit. The pain is severe. When I had the epidural, the doctor told me not to move, but I leaned back a few times in pain. Is this causing any aftereffects? Will I be able to fully recover in the future?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify this. You'd better consult the doctor who prescribed the medication for you. Based on your condition, it's possible. Don't worry too much, it could also be. You might be tired from holding the baby, or it could be the effect on your mind. I suggest you rest and keep your mood calm, while also enhancing your nutrition. Anesthesia will never cause you back pain. The above advice is for the question "Baby born on the 19th, weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
