Yes, within 3months of having the epidural, i had RA, i was told that the RA was nothing to do with the epidural, but that it became active after having the baby, which apparantly is very common. I was 32 years old and in excellent health. is there a link between RA and epidurals? During my second pregnancy the RA dissappeared and i was realy well after the birth, i had no epidural with this birth and must admit that it was quicker, easier and less problematic during the birth, afterwards i was straight up and about.
