Had Emergency Cesarean With Epidural. Since, Cannot Feel Skin Between Shoulder Blades. Advice?

January 9 2011 I had an emergency cesarean with epidural.that's when my pain started.I couldn't feel the skin itself between my shoulder blades but felt the pain. I had another cesarean June 26 2012. Well the pain has never stopped and at times will hurt so bad that the only relief I get is having my husband push as hard as he can on this huge hump.I don't slump.I sit straight so I don't know what this could be but I noticed it seems to be growing slowly.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Probably there was an injury to the spinal nerve root.

This might have happened during spinal anesthesia.

If you do not have any muscle weakness, nothing much to worry.

please meet a neurologist if required.

Let me know if you have any other doubts.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
