I've had an epidural. It wasn't a bad procedure putting the epidural in. The nurse was in front of me, and when the epidural went in, one of my legs went flying forward and I kicked the nurse. Woops!

Getting an epidural is the weirdest feeling. It kinda has a creaky/crunchy feeling going in…and then the little pop when it gets through…Must be satisfying for an anesthesiologist lol. Probably made someone squeamish with that description, but it really isn’t too bad. 😅Way better than full blown labor pains especially when they’re induced.😖

It felt like the size of a straw going in when I had mine. Hearing that pop and feeling it going in was excruciating.

I have M.S. and have had multiple lumbar punctures (and 2 blood patches) over the years. They usually use a 20 gauge needle on me. What gauge needle do they use for an epidural?

[susanharris]

I have nerve damage in my neck since I had epidural

[marlenegold]

Had one myself; never felt it go in, because I was in such pain having our first baby.

Getting one next Friday, usually I’m asleep for them but this time I’m just getting numb and awake, does it hurt?

I am leaning towards having this for my 19th surgery.
My lungs can’t take being intubated anymore. Knocked the stuffing out of me a year ago. I started at 44 and I’m now almost. 61. I’m hoping this will be a good choice.
