What Does Pain In The Lower Back Indicate?

I’ve had some slight lower back pain for a few weeks on and off but today it’s bad enough that I can barely move. Lying on my stomach seems to be the most comfortable I can get. One spot in particular on my spine is quite painful and it’s the same area I had an epidural 5 years ago during childbirth and the doctor did bend the first needle on my spine. Could it be anything to do with that?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Epidural needles are very thin and as such highly unlikely to cause any damage. I would suggest you get evaluated with a doctor.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regard,
