Had a case of a prolonged labor epidural block. Patient a one sided block from the get go after an easy placement in a healthy 30 y/o. Delivered in the am. Call from nurse in afternoon that leg is still numb and weak but can move foot. Weakness subsided finally at 15 hours. I’ve had plenty of patient’s with some residual numbness the next day and a few with prolonged weakness. These would always resolve and I would just monitor for 24 hours unless pain developed or the block worsened. What are other people doing?
