Are Pain In Legs, Back And Shoulders Normal After Getting Blood Patch Done?

Hello, I am 31, 5ft 7in, and 260lbs I was in a car accident about 7 months ago and at this time received herniated disks on my L4 and L5 disks. I have had 3 epidural procedures since then the last being this week I then had to have a bloodpatch done due to a horrible headache. Since the bloodpatch (done 2 days ago) I started to get severe pain back in my legs, and back as well as pain in my right shoulder. The pain in continuous, with a numb burning feeling is this normal, will it go away and do I need to have a nerve test.
