Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I was scheduled for an epidural this morning, too. I cancelled it late yesterday afternoon. Just couldn't do it. The needle part doesn't scare me, but I wasn't sure how quickly I would snap back or how I would react to the meds used. We have something special planned this weekend I can't change.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi, Kathy! I was more than a little freaked out, but the whole procdure was only 15 minutes and I was in the office for about an hour. I had a great doctor that gave me enough lidocaine so that I didn't feel any pain (just the pain of the lidocaine which feels like a pinching bee sting - not too bad, but definitely not pleasant either). The rest of it really only felt like slight pressure and nothing painful - just a little weird to " feel " stuff inside in places I had obviously blocked out since the original surgery 18 years ago. Riding in the car was fine after, so was regular household work (cooking, etc.) I had taken a valium since I was nervous, so I was sleepy for the rest of the day. And today, 24 hours later, I am fine. I could have used ice if I needed it, but I really didn't, and I am usually quite sensitive to pain. So, as a fearful person going into the experience, I can say if I can do it, you can too! It's not as bad as it sounds. I should find out in a week or so if it has really helped. I got it because I was having some shooting nerve pain from the L3 vertebra (it would be nerve snap and warmth just in my inner thighs, never below the knee). I don't know how it works for generalized lower back pain, but I'll let you know how it works me, ok? Best wishes to all of you!
