Does anyone have any residual back pain from the spinal that was given to make you numb during your c-section? I am not 100% sure that my back problem is from the spinal- but am pretty sure that it is in the area that the shot was given. My spine absolutely hurts like crazy- even just to the touch. I can completely function like normal but there are times when I just sit in a chair and it hurts to have my spine touch the chair cushion. I am scared because I had a minor complication with the spinal. The hole created by the needle in my spine didn't close properly so I had spinal fluid leaking into my spine (all internally). It gave me the worst headache imaginable. After days of horrible and painful headaches I found out that all I needed to do to heal the hole was to drink caffeine. I drank a cup of coffee in the AM for a few days in a row and my headaches went away. Anyway, I am just wondering if anyone knows of any ongoing back pain or anything like that that can be caused by the spinal anestesia method. Thanks! MKM
