Post Partum (epidural) questions

[guest27716]

I had my baby on Oct. 5th and it was an extrememly difficult labor. I ended up having a c-section and had 2 epidurals. I had one for contractions and then had a full block spinal. I think I did. I was quite confused. Anyways, I am expereincing ringing in my ears. I always had white noise sounds but now they seem amplified. Does this go away? I rememeber the Anesthesiologist saying something about tinnitus but can't remember since I was pretty out of it.

Also, I am having major twiching in my hands and body. I am sure this is related. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance,

Jennifer

i would consult w/the anesthesiologist or my doctor on this, and soon. you understand, we can't give medical advice here. i, for one, lack the expertise in anesthesia to even begin to answer this to your satisfaction, as most ob nurses really would.

i am sorry yours was such a difficult labor and delivery and you are feeling unpleasant effects now. i really feel for you. i hope you find relief and resolution soon; please speak with your doctor at your earliest opportunity. let us know how you are doing and what they tell you.

Thanks Deb. I was just wondering if you ever heard about what was happening. I will call my doctor if it gets worse. It isn't that bad but I would like to know more about these side effects.
