Having had an epidural during my delivery a few months ago, I've since been struggling to lose weight. My mother-in-law mentioned epidural injections can sometimes cause weight gain. Could this be why I'm finding it so hard to shed the extra kilos?

Honestly I was also scared about this before my back treatment. The injection itself doesn't cause weight gain, but the rest and lack of movement during recovery is what usually adds those extra kilos.

Please don't go by what people say on forums or YouTube. Everyone's body reacts differently to steroids, so it is best to ask your orthopaedic doctor directly rather than searching online and getting stressed.

Beta, mere bade bhai ko bhi ye injection laga tha peeth dard ke liye. Unka thoda vajan badha tha par wo isliye kyunki doctor sahab ne unko bilkul aaram karne bola tha aur chalna firna band tha. Aap bilkul chinta mat karo, sab theek ho jayega.

I had a similar doubt when my doctor suggested epidural. Since I already have thyroid issues, I made sure to get my hormone levels tested and discussed it with my physician first. You should also get a routine checkup done just to be safe.
