I'm glad you brought this up. I have had similar concerns. I have had 2 c-sections. I believe the anastesia for a csection is a little different than a regular epidural. However, they are similar. With my first child I didn't have problems with anastesia. During the delivery of my second child, my arms went numb and I lost the ability to swallow temporarily. Afterwards, the place where they did the spinal injection hurt for several weeks. This could coincide with when I started getting tingling in my feet but I cant be sure because I wasn't keeping a journal. Plus I had a sudden onset of more severe PN symptoms last year about 1 year after the birth of my youngest.
