Can Epidural Cause Pain In Toe, Leg And Lower Back?
I had a baby two weeks ago via an emergency c section. I now have tingling and numbness in my left side big toe and a pain on the top of my foot . I also have a pain running down that same leg all the way up to the lower back. Is this due to the epidural??

Hi
Epidural doesn't cause any pain .
Your problem is because of vitamin deficiency.
Which is common during pregnancy and lactation.
Take some vit B12 tablets for one month . And calcium tablets for 6 months it helps.
