Why is my leg numb still?!


Question: Why is my leg numb still!?
I gave birth (vaginally) over 3 months ago!. I got the epidural!. After giving birth, I got the feeling back in my legs except for a big portion of my quad on my left leg!. Now my left leg is longer than the right one and my hips are slightly twisted to the right!. I want to know why that portion of my leg is still numb and if I will ever regain feeling back in it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Although this is not common with epidurals it has been known to happen!. Nerve damage is usually not permanent but can last for weeks to months after the procedure!. And although you may feel as if one leg is shorter it is not, your posture and hips and compensating for the numbness and nerves that have been damaged!. i would suggest contacting a chiropractor for an alignment and a neurologist for the nerve damage!. Rest assured that 9 times out of 10 that with proper treatment all will be back to normal before you know it!. Congrats on the new addition!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's already 3 months, it may or may not be related to the epidural!.
I'd suggest you book an early appointment with your family doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to speak to your doctor about that!. It could be neuropathy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Something could have gone wrong with the epidural!. I'd call your ob/gyn or PCP and tell him/her about the situation!.
