In March of 2006 I had my second son. I got an epidural that only took on my right side. When the dr inserted the needle my thigh muscle spasmed (I think he hit a nerve). Since then it feels numb in my thigh muscle like when your foot is asleep. The past few weeks when I sit or lay down I get a stabbing pain in the thigh and then it feels even more numb thatn before. I don't know if it will get better because pain is feeling or is it getting worse? I don't have insurance right now so I can't go to the doctor has anyone ever had this problem?

The thing I learned about nerve damage is that there may be a limited time window that treatment works within. The window was missed in the treatment of my shoulder and I permanently lost the use of it and my hand on that side. I think that you should try and go to a teaching hospital or clinic and have it checked. It might be something else entirely, and worsening pain is cause for concern.
