My L4 and L5 discs have a slight bulge to them. I'm not even sure if the epidural goes in either of these discs, or if it's an issue at all.
Would this cause any difficulties with getting an epidural? Or any increased risk of bad side effects?
I'm at 26 weeks now - so I've got time to discuss this with my doc. (which I probably will). Just looking for some more insights.
Thanks

You should be able to have an epidural as the needle goes between the two vertabrates. There are other options for pain medication as well. Hope you have a quick, painfree labour!

No 2 men and women's our bodies are alike, so do not forget your response is also special than any one else's. Normally there's moderate discomfort while the injection goes in and many times afterwards men and women suppose discomfort on the injection website, which may also be helped via striking an ice % at the field for fifteen mins. Many occasions there may also be colossal comfort from the discomfort you are experiencing. You will ought to repeat the photographs Periodically.

It will only make the pain go away, which will help during delivery. The discs are going to hurt like hell before you come to term. Good luck and get a heating pad with moist heat.
