I had an epi with my last birth 2 years ago and have suffered chronic back pain since. Have seen a chiro and physio but the pain is still there.
An orthopedic doc is worth seeing. You might just need custom arch supports!
There is a series of three epidural shots which are used to treat this back problem. They usually work, but not until after the third shot. Ask you doc about this.
If these solutions don’t work, there are other solutions, up to and including severing the nerve which is causing the problem. Keep talking with your doc, and don’t give up!

I don’t think that and epidural would cause long term back pain unless done improperly. Have you had Xrays or MRI? MRI will find source of most problems. It would be hard to recommend treatment without know the source of your problem. Could be muscular, spinal, a disc problem, or number of other things. Ask doc for MRI if you haven’t had one.
Your Dr. can also give you literature on treating and preventing back pain. There are many stretches and excercises you can do to prevent back pain and injury.

Unfortunately I have been going through the same thing for the past 11 years after having an epidural with the birth of my daughter. I take ibuprofen 3 times a day, get massages regularly & have seen a pain manaagement doctor on & off. I also use a heat pack on it at night when I sleep & have tried muscle relaxers in the past. Other than that there is not much the doctors can do other than put you on strong pain medicine & give cortisone shots.
