[|Human|] my name is Amber, i gave birth in September and the epidural was left in my back for over 24 hours. i found it the next day. while epidural was n my back the nurses dropped me on the floor coming back from bathroom. about 4 days later a spinal tap was done also. i now have a MRI showing a fracture in my sacrum below my lumbar spine .. since delivery i have had back pain and leg pain. i have lots of pain in my knee as well, it is very hard to bend or straighten my legs and have loss of sensation in legs also..
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for asking the question.  Back pain can occur after delivery due to laxity in the muscles and ligament. And it usually gets relieved by 3 months with toning up the muscles.  But your history of fall and a spinal tap points to something different. Does your MRI state only fracture or anything else also. Fracture can be due to fall or rarely a stress fracture of sacrum. The exact localization is important to tell the cause and plan treatment accordingly.  I would recommend u to see your doctor(spine Surgeon) who will examine you, see your scans; and will then be able to advise u appropriately. Arrange for an appointment at the earliest.  U can contact me in case u need any further details. Bye
