Femoral Nerve Entrapment
I gave birth on 10/31/25
I received the epidural & I felt like more of it went to my right side of my body. During birth they had me doing the tug of war position, and I was in that for a while. About 24 hours after birth my right leg by my knee and inner thigh was still numb. They sent in the anesthesiologist & he poked around my leg and said there may be some epidural still left in there and that it should go away within the next few days. Well here we are 6+ months later and I’m still dealing with numbness, burning/stabbing sensations. I can’t stand or walk on it for long periods of time either. I went to see a neurologist at 3 months postpartum & she said it’s femoral nerve entrapment & to try stretches and it will go away but it is still here after doing stretches. She told me that she can’t say for sure if it’s from the epidural but I’m convinced it is. Is this something that could qualify for disability if I can’t work due to the issue I’m having?
