After Epidural

Ok i had my son 3 weeks ago and i had an epidural. They had to turn it off because it went into my vein and started to poison me. But every sense that has happen my right shoulder has been numb and its very itchy? I cant feel nothing in it and i dont have a appointment with my doctor intill Tuesday. Has this ever happened with anyone before? Ive very worried it messed up my shoulder.

I've never heard of that, but it sounds terrible. I hope everything turns out ok...

Yeah i hope there is really nothing wrong.

It is probably nerve damage. It will usually go away within a few weeks. Sometime it can take months, years, or never go away. My sister lost feeling on her stomach and she had it back by the time her son was 6 weeks old. Hopefully yours comes back too!
