Holy havoc! by ObviousTroll (4.00 / 1) #8 Fri Feb 17, 2006 at 05:52:04 PM EST

You know, when my wife got an epidural during delivery - she thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I'm guessing that the drug they use makes all the difference.

Though the position of the injection and the condition of the spine all have factors. For me, 40 percent of the pain was getting the needle to the site.

My god, it hurts.

it wasnt full of painkillers, was it? in delivery, the pain it's taking away is probably well worth the pain of having a FUCKING NEEDLE IN YOUR SPINE.

lidacaine, local. Drive that into the muscle, etc. Then they follow with the needle, pushing lidacaine and dye. Then they put in the steroid. Every single injection, though, hurts like hell due to the volume of liquid being pushed against the nerves.
