A member asked:
What are my chances of having an epidural? how common is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generic answer: Do not know why this is asked, and you do not provide further information. Epidurals are commonly used during labor and delivery to ease discomfort, and epidural steroid injections may help when ruptured discs compress nerve roots. Perhaps you would be better served by using our INBOX or Concierge Service.
