Fashion and beauty entrepreneur Toyin Lawani has revealed that she is currently suffering from back pain, with her spine deteriorating over time.

In a candid video shared on social media Tuesday, Lawani opened up about her struggles following the use of epidural anesthesia, an injection commonly given to pregnant women during childbirth to relieve pain.

She explained that since receiving the epidural, she has felt a significant shift in her health, accusing medical professionals of not fully disclosing the long-term side effects of the procedure.

Lawani, a mother of three, shared that the anesthetic was administered during the birth of her last two children.

She said, “When you hear ‘epidural,’ run. Doctors tell you about the side effects but do not tell you about the long-term effects on your body. I have about three friends having the same issues that I am having.

“Like, I am just 42, how did I end up with spine issues? I have a degenerating spine. I have implants in my spine. I go paralyzed. I can’t stand for a long time. I can’t even breathe properly sometimes because it affected so many things in my body when I had the surgery.

“They will not tell you because you just want the pain to go away. I have had two epidurals. I had my first as natural birth. The last two were epidural. The last one I had epidural because I had to undergo a surgery and I had no choice.

“See, the pain does not stop. My back is killing me and my spine is degenerating.”
