Problems after an epidural that missed.?

Yes, they can be connected, and can be easily fixed. It is possible that your body has not been able to replace the lost spinal fluid (your body has been pretty busy taking care of the baby), or that you are leaking spinal fluid from the puncture site. Not life threatening, but quite painful. Go to your local ER and tell them what happened. They will do a procedure called a blood patch and your symptoms should clear up within an hour or two.
