Celebrity stylist Toyin Lawani has revealed some enduring effects she is facing following the administration of epidural injections during her pregnancies.
In a candid video, she recounted her distressing experience and cautioned expectant mothers to reconsider their choice of epidural anesthesia during labor.
Lawani disclosed that since receiving epidural anesthesia for the births of her last two children, she has been plagued by spinal pain, paralysis, and respiratory issues.
She emphasized that healthcare professionals often neglect to inform patients about the potential long-term consequences associated with epidural injections.
“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 I am having. I am just 42, how did I end up with spine issues? I have implants in my spine, I go paralyzed, I can’t stand for long, and sometimes I can’t even breathe properly,” she lamented.

Epidural injections are a medical procedure used to deliver medication directly into the epidural space, which is the area surrounding the spinal cord and nerve roots. These injections are commonly used to treat pain and inflammation, particularly in the back, neck, legs, or arms. The medication typically includes a corticosteroid (to reduce inflammation) and sometimes a local anesthetic (to provide immediate pain relief).

Effectiveness:
The effectiveness of epidural injections can vary. Some patients experience significant relief for weeks or months, while others may find minimal or no relief. The response can depend on the underlying condition being treated and individual patient factors.
Follow-Up:
Patients are usually monitored for a short period after the procedure to ensure there are no immediate adverse reactions. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and determine if additional injections are needed.
Always consult with a healthcare provider to determine if an epidural injection is appropriate for your specific condition.
