###Human: I am having sciatica, neuralgia and migraines. Are these due to epidural anesthesia? ###Assistant: Hi. Maybe unintentionally epidural needle must have hit a blood vessel in epidural space and so needle was withdrawn and reinserted in order to place it in epidural space avoiding blood vessel. Hypotension in pregnancy may be caused by supine hypotension syndrome and also due to regional anesthesia. So you were placed in left lateral position and you were given an injection to keep your BP up. It is not unusual to have these situations and are treatable. The issues you have mentioned are due to a spine problem most likely prolapsed intervertebral disc, etc., and very less likely due to epidural. May require MRI of the lumbosacral spine to diagnose. Need to consult an orthopedic surgeon.
