What Does Constant Lower Back Pain After Child Birth Indicate?

I had a epidural during birth 6 years ago. The anesthesiologist hit the wrong spot and punctured my dura which caused spinal fluid to leak and had me numb from the neck down. I got a spinal headache and had a blood patch they didnt seal the leak. I now have migraines and I have constant lower back pain. What is the possible diagnosis of my lower back pain? It is starting to mess with my neck and legs. I had a MRI a couple of weeks after giving birth and it showed nothing. Is it possible for a MRI to not detect something wrong?
