When having a Cesarean section, will getting an injection of anesthetic in the waist leave behind sequelae?

Patient's question:

Is it possible to have postoperative sequelae after receiving an anesthetic injection in the waist during a Cesarean section? It has been over six months since the procedure, but why does the area where the anesthetic was administered still hurt?

Doctor's answer:

Any anesthetic agent used on the body has certain side effects, and the key is that the benefits outweigh the risks. Regarding your question, the general harm to the body is usually very small, so you don't need to worry too much. Generally, the anesthetics used during childbirth are completely metabolized in a short period of time. It is important to drink more water appropriately after childbirth and pay attention to the hygiene of the puncture site to avoid infection.
