Originally posted by bot 6Bot6 have they offered you a second epidural? That's what they offer Mums who had the pain releive in labour, and got the headache.
it was from a epidural puncture.
they call it "post epidural puncture headache" things they dont tell you about until after its done. doctors piss me off simetimes.
The post that was quoted here has been removedNo, I don't have private healthcare, and fortunately I am in good health, for the most part, but at least I can rely on the NHS if need be, even if it is slack it's better than nothing; my worry lies for people who can't afford private healthcare, and they have nothing like the NHS to fall back on...
Hope your leg is better, same with your headache Bot6, hope everything turns out alright in the end with it.
Originally posted by bot 6My aunt had an epidural punctured sack of sorts... and the damn nurse dragged her out of bed into the shower... She would have killed that nurse, if she was able to function at all.
