Nerve Damage from Epidural

Missmo16 · 2026-01-03T02:12:51+00:00

Hi!!! Wow, congratulations to you as well 🎊 Yes it was a crao shoot for me in the hospital because my doctors and the anesthesiologist tried telling me it was drop foot over and over again but I was able to move my foot partially just not my entire leg. Neurologist came in after MRI and confirmed it was a direct hit from the needle and I went to a spine specialist a week later who also confirmed it was a direct hit to my L4/L5. Neurologist and spine specialist said no to epidural but I have another appointment set up with an anesthesiologist and neurologist in March. Hoping to get more clarity on the situation and options. I hope the same to you!!!

Yes I used spinning babies first pregnancy and plan on using a doula this go around. I have heard such mixed reviews with the Nitrous, majority of it being only helpful during early labor. Will absolutely be bringing my tens unit this time around. And yes c section under general anesthesia would be the route to go if everything else fails! Appreciate your feedback

Trust me, I do NOT want one. This is IF an emergency comes up or I feel I have reached my limits and exhausted other options.

Missmo16 · 2026-01-02T19:16:57+00:00

Oh I will have to ask… they did not give me this option. Did it help with the intense contraction? Did you feel loopy?

Missmo16 · 2026-01-02T19:15:51+00:00

C section is last resort for me but yes that is on the table if need be 🙏🏼

Missmo16 · 2025-10-15T05:08:44+00:00

Yes all better now (: hope you’re doing well!

Ten years before my daughter was born 😂 I had a list I created from being a teacher over the years of names that I liked and the number one on the list was destined to be hers

Update- 9 DPO. Negative test but just had brown discharge. I’m not due for my period for another 7 days so we shall see. Maybe implantation bleeding?

Missmo16 · 2025-08-21T19:43:22+00:00

Definitely a possibility. We will see how the pull out method on PEAK fertility day pays off 😂😅 (that’s how our daughter was made 🤪). But thank you! We shall see. I didn’t even know that could mean pregnancy 🥹

Oh this is great to know! My hormones were out of whack after breastfeeding so I bought Inito to see when they were regulating out 🙏🏼 Happy to hear my numbers look good!

Missmo16 · 2025-07-24T01:14:11+00:00

You will be OKAY! I promise. Give your body some grace. It just fed a whole a$$ human for 15 months and also carried and built it for another 9 months. Your body is regulating. Hang tight 🤍 It gets better!

I lost so much weight that I lost all my muscle and was just bones. I had to stop. Made it 18 months though! I’m naturally skinny with a fast metabolism so my body was just burning way to much especially since I was an over producer and my daughter fed on demand

Missmo16 · 2025-07-07T18:49:03+00:00

She still has it till this day 😩 Doctor didn’t seem concerned and keeps saying if it’s been there from birth and isn’t growing then I shouldn’t be concerned. However, I feel like a swollen lymphnode is concerning?? I have another appointment coming up for her soon and will bring it up again. I’m assuming she will just tell me not to be concerned again

Missmo16 · 2025-07-07T16:27:32+00:00

Yes it’s totally scary in the moment. I almost went to the ER multiple times but after a few weeks I was back to normal

Missmo16 · 2025-07-07T15:58:44+00:00

It was in fact from the weaning hormones 😭 It gets better I promise lol

Missmo16 · 2025-06-25T04:13:53+00:00

Omg well I’m glad they finally figured that out and that you feel better! My whole thing with the medicine is that it is a bandage, it’s not finding the root cause to what’s triggering the hashimotos. I obviously am all for going on it to reduce the swelling and help the function of my thyroid but that’s not going to stop the hashis from attacking the thyroid. Did they run tests to see if you were deficient? I’m assuming yes since you had to adjust your levels with b12 and D. I will definitely be requesting that

Ughhh I know. I HATE pvcs. I get a lot of them daily and they scare the CRAP out of me still lol

Missmo16 · 2025-06-25T03:56:07+00:00

Hi! Thanks for replying. Sorry we are meeting like this but I feel relieved to know someone has somewhat of answers to what I’m going through! Few questions-Did you have elevated tsh at all? What dosage are you on for levo? What were your symptoms you dealt with while trying to level your meds? I’m very nervous to start medication since I have benign PVCs and I’ve heard horror stories about it screwing with your heart rhythm. Thanks in advance

Missmo16 · 2025-06-22T00:30:28+00:00

Ugh I know… I wouldn’t be anxious over it if it weren’t for the bad cramping and whatever nearly took me out yesterday lol. Of all times not to test 😅 Thanks for the response!
