Severe Reaction For A Lumbar Epidural. Stabbing And Burning Pain In The Upper Back And Chest. Is This Normal?

I had a lumbar epidural two years ago, it wasn t my first one, I had before without incident, but this time I suffered an awful reaction. I had stabbing and burning pain on my upper back as well as to my chest , then electrical shocks at my face, very painful. I still have the sharp,stabbing and burning pain on my upper back, I never had pain on those areas. It s very painful when I walk. Does somebody suffered what I suffered? I haven t found any doctor who could help me. It hurts so much.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The extent of involvement and the duration speak against the epidural being responsible.
You ought to see a Neurologist for examination / possibly you may need some investigations...
There are exclusive pain clinics, that can help...

Take care     
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
