I just had an epidural for L4, L5, and S1 yesterday and woke up with a numbness on the tip of my tongue. I still have this numbness and am a little concerned. I am 52. I have been waiting for the Dr. to call me back on this but have not heard from him yet. No one seems to know why this is happening, could you please help?

Could you have bit your tongue? Is there any mark or color change?
