A woman who has endured excruciating back pain since giving birth 14 years ago found that she has had a piece of an epidural needle lodged in her spine.

In 2003, Amy Bright, 41, underwent a c-section at a hospital in Jacksonville, Florida to give birth to Jacob, her sixth and youngest son.

Her acute back pain began only two months later and has had a crippling effect on her life ever since.

A CT scan last year found a 3 cm-long piece of needle buried in her spine, leading her to finally identify the source of her discomfort.

She expressed her shock, anger, and fear in response to the information.

When she received an epidural for the birth of Jacob more than ten years prior, the needle supposedly snapped off.

Amy’s left foot and leg are only partially functional as a result of the severe nerve damage she sustained.

“That needle moves inside my spine every time I move, walk, bend, twist, or sleep,” she claimed.

I’ve been causing scar tissue to form in my spine for 14 years as a result of this needle moving.

She has seen numerous doctors over the years, and they have all given her prescriptions for painkillers, muscle relaxants, and other drugs to help her deal with her discomfort.
