Unknown: You really need more information. It is very rare to have allergic reaction to epidurals. You should get a list if the meds that were administered during the procedure so you can know what might be causing the reaction. In the end, this is usuallya side effect, not allergic reaction. Talk to you doctor.

Allergy test: Allergy testing is a good idea but that does not determine whether she needs spine surgery. She should discuss spine surgery options with her doctor. Such surgery depends on her symptoms. Good luck.
