epidural for pain management?
jigglefish
I've not had my surgery yet but I do know that if you are given an epidural you are not completely out. I said that its okay for her to suggest what she thinks but the decision should be yours to make. My suggestion to you is that you do what your comfortable with. I heard pros and cons for both the epidural and the general. With a general you are out and wake up its over, so you decide. Some times the medical field of people they become a little to comfortable with what they do everyday and see all the time and begin to treat individuals as a whole. They need to be reminded that we are all individuals and we react differently to things.
Search the site read more all be it quickly you almost there and then you make a more informed decision based on what you can handle and what you need. Good luck and let us know how your doing when you can. Thinking about you.
