Severe Reaction For A Lumbar Epidural. Stabbing And Burning Pain In The Upper Back And Chest. Is This Normal?
I had a lumbar epidural two years ago, it wasn t my first one, I had before without incident, but this time I suffered an awful reaction. I had stabbing and burning pain on my upper back as well as to my chest , then electrical shocks at my face, very painful. I still have the sharp,stabbing and burning pain on my upper back, I never had pain on those areas. It s very painful when I walk. Does somebody suffered what I suffered? I haven t found any doctor who could help me. It hurts so much.
The extent of involvement and the duration speak against the epidural being responsible. You ought to see a Neurologist for examination / possibly you may need some investigations... There are exclusive pain clinics, that can help...
