Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
In epidural anaesthesia, the needle is directly put into the epidural space. The damage to the muscles is not likely because of the insertion of the needle but there may be a mild inflammation in the area causing the pain.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
