I had an epidural but only experienced back ache for a long time afterwards, especially when laying on my left hand side (the side they had me on for most my labour especially after i fainted)
Im still getting the period / mild contraction pains 8 days afterwards but they are slowly going away.
Also i keep getting shooting pains where my stitches are.
Other than that im not sure about the other things sorry
period pains are likely to be your uterus shrinking down

the numbness in my leg is calming has to be the epidural as it only worked on my left side and that is the leg im suffering with hopefully it will go with time.
