So its been 3 weeks since my boy was born. non complicated, no bad tears, etc. vaginal birth. I had an epidural. I told the doctors multiple times, " My body is very resistant to pain medication and anesthetics." and he didnt listen. he used the numbing stuff once, went to put it in my spine, pain. He pulled it out and put it back in 3 times before he realized that the numbing stuff was only gonna work after giving me a bit more then normal people. Now? Every now and then I have pain that stens from the spot they put it in, shocks up my spine, tightens my upper back to lower back, and it feels as if something is wrapping around my rib cage and compressing it, and my lings stop working for a minute or two. the pain almost goes into my chest, but stops right before. Can I sue for malpractice? Im not happy that I have to deal with this. I cant be carrying my newborn and suddenly fall over in pain because a Doctor didnt listen.
