Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There seems to be a trauma to the neural tissue in the spine. This may be leading to the symptoms. The other possibility, which is frequent in epidural is that the medicine has moved up and affecting the spine. Once it resolves, the symptoms may resolve. If you let me know the name of the medicine, I may be of further help. I would suggest an MRI of the spine. Since I cannot examine you, meet a neurologist in your area to decide the level of MRI needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
