Toyin took to social media to reveal her experience. Epidural is a type of anesthesia/ common p@in-relieving injection administered to women during childbirth.
In a video on Tuesday, the mother of three revealed that ever since she received the injection, she has not been herself.
She expressed concern that doctors often do not fully educate women about the potential long-term side effects of epidurals.
Lawani said: “When you hear epidural, run. Doctors tell you about the side effects but do not tell you about the long-term effects on your body.
I have about three friends having the same issues that I am having. Like, I am just 42, how did I end up with spine issues? I have a degenerating spine. I have implants in my spine.”
Toyin Lawani said she gets paralyzed sometimes. ”I can’t stand for a long time. I can’t even breathe properly sometimes because it affected so many things in my body when I had the surgery.”
She added that medical practitioners will not tell you the details because you just want the p@in to go away.
She said she had two epidurals. ”I had my first as a natural birth. The last two were epidural. The last one I had an epidural because I had to undergo surgery, and I had no choice.”
Other women with similar issues have also agreed that she is telling the truth but not every woman who had an epidural has the same effect. People react differently.
So, while Toyin is lamenting the adverse effect of epidural, other women are happy with it because it reduces their p@in during childbirth.
