Yes my husband wanted to look into getting a lawyer but I wasnt sure if we had a case only because I know when you sign your life away when you get admitted to the hospital when you have a baby, I didnt know if the fine printed said basically get a epidural at your own risk type of thing.
Again I dont know but I was thinking I had to sign something about a epidural consent to risks.
Well thats not good I thought if you had the fluid drained then the pain would go away.

The statute of limitations in most states is only 2 yrs. If you are put off by doctors (who stick up for each other to avoid liability suits), then you miss the window entirely.
1) your epidural was botched. You know that and can get the records to prove it
2) you are deteriorating.
Lawyers have doctors they can send you to for another opinion.
I suggest you consider this.
Sorry this has happened to you, but syrinxes are typically not treatable.
