A member asked:

Epidural for my c sections 14&12 y ago, chest numbness. need epidural for upcoming hip surgery. risk for chest numbness again or was block too high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High block...: The chest numbness was probably related to a high epidural level. The level doesn't have to be so high for a hip surgery and an epidural is great for post-operative pain as well. Best wishes!
