Epidural side effects

Hello, can I just check mummies that took epidural, what are the possible short and long term side effects? Was told by the anesthetist there would be symptoms like tremors, vomiting. But just wondering any other possible long term effects that anyone experienced. TIA!

My wife still has sore back after giving birth 3-4 months. Seems like now is ok.

For me it was only the shivering. No long term effect (8+ months pp now)

Short term shiver and vomiting Backache about a month then get better

No long term effect. Just temporary shiver after delivery. Numbness.
