I started to have back pain when I had my daughter 4 years ago. They screwed up my epidural and now I'm basically crippled.

Every time I have back pain, I regret that epidural. My kid is 5! If you can withstand the pain...don't do it!

I used to think people who refuse an epidural are just crazy hippies, but I regret getting mine so much. It didn't numb the pain it made it so much worse. Going natural next time for sure.

Not exactly what you were expecting.
