I had my daughter a month ago and had an epidural. For the past couple weeks I have had a cold tingling sensation on my left shoulder blade. Could this be from the epidural? My doctor appt is in two weeks can someone help me until then

    I'm not sure. I had the epi and still have back pain, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were.
    Bump for ya.

    I don't know if that's from the epi but I get that sometimes. It comes and goes. For me it usually happens when I'm at work *I do data entry so ten hour days sitting on my butt* I just figure its a nerve thing I can usually get it to go away with a bit if walking and repoitioning

    @natashalynn thank you. I also have back pain but I figured it was prolly from that.
    @Richjen24 I haven't heard of anyone with the same symptom so it has me aworried but thank you.
    @beaded_bunny I haven't had this problem until I had my daughter and I'm doing everything the same so Idk but thank you

    @mommy2isaiahngiselle thank you that is a very good point I just don't know what else it could be.

    It could just be from being a new mom! We spend so much time looking down, feeding and admiring our new babies, you may have pinched a nerve in your neck. Check your posture, stretch, and I would see a chiropractor if you feel comfortable with that!

    with my first daughter I had an epidural and the effects use to make my lower back ache when I was in a cold area or cold weather period. Everyone's body takes to it differently. As long as it not excruciating pain your doctor may have some better suggestions for you

    Oooh use this as an excuse to go get a massage!!

    @ashleyz that's a good idea. I'm not a first time mom though and this never happened with my first. But It does make sense.
    @nyla2011 it is def not cold here. I wish it were lol

    @due_in_July lol I live in Miami so I know what you mean.. but I meant like when your house is cold from the ac. Or cold movie theatres, etc. That's the only time I would have the back pains from the epidural.. but then again I had to have two doses because eventually it wears off!!

    @nyla2011 it tends to do it completely at random regardless If its hot or cold. It's just extremely puzzling how it just started so If its not epidural related j just don't understand
