Epidural Damage

Jenelle explained on March 24th: “After getting 3 epidurals in my lifetime… I think this third one got me good. Still having nerve/back pain from delivering Ensley!”
Nerve damage from epidurals is quite rare, and if damage is incurred, it’s typically a single nerve which causes numbness for a short time.

Jenelle headed to the doctor to figure out what was killing her back, and he doesn’t think it’s nerve damage. She tweeted, “Doctor said it’s possible scar tissue and building my back muscle can hurt in the process but benefit in the long run. Time to work out!”

Jenelle’s body has been through so much. She’s only in her mid-twenties, but she’s been pregnant at least five times; she gave birth three times, had one miscarriage, and one abortion by the use of a series of pills.
She’s also had issues with illegal drugs. She even experienced severe physical pain, at one point, due to a new type of birth control pill.
