Hi Katie - I had a ceasar too - I have back pain but I don't think it is from the birth - mostly die to hormones and over use. DEFINITELY seek a secong opinion. I am from GEelong too - ring the hospital that you had Ethan at, try and speak to the anethatist (spl?), ask if they had any trouble getting the needle in. The thing is that even though the infection may have cleared, perhaps there is still some inflammation in your spine and you need some other medication. I am sure you will be OK - get some further info for your own peace of mind.

Let us know how you go.
