back pain

so is back pain really linked to epidurals during labor? I cant seem to do anything standing up without excrutiating back pain....so ow im drugged up all the time

I'm not really sure how they're linked except that epidurals should relieve the pain and pain from labor. I didn't have an epidural when I delivered. I did have exquisite back pain though. Better now. Also, BF has had 3 epidural treatments for back pain to hold him over until surgery. You may have some other underlying issue that needs treatment.
