Does this happen to anyone else?
When I was in labor, the epidural given to me in the hospital meant to help with the pain of labor didn't seem to help at all...
Then, when they were giving me a spinal anesthetic so the doctor could perform a C-Section, it did not work...
The Surgeon was not pleased, and neither was the Anesthesiologist. Yet, after a test, they agreed I could indeed feel him cutting into my belly still, so they tried again to anesthetize me, to no avail so they had to put me under general anesthesia.
I've also tried to go to the Pain clinic and get an Epidural Block for my back pain, but that also did no work.
I wonder if this has anything to do with Substance P?
It would be interesting to see what someone a bit more senior to the illness thinks.
