Epidural will caused a lot of complications for your body when you are older?

Hi everyone! I will be delivering in KKH soon and I was wondering if its true that if you take epidural, you will experience backache, high blood pressure and other health complications when you are older or in your 40s/50s? I am so scared of feeling pain and i am considering to opt for epidural for my delivery but my mother is against it as she said that i will suffer backpain etc when i reach my 40s. Any mummies in their 40s-50s who took epidural have any take about this?

The older you get doesn't matter if you took epidural or not,backache is the most common aches you will get,so it makes no difference.. but before you are 5cm dilated make sure you make the decision of getting epidural,because after 5cm they won't give you epidural already..
