Sympathies ladies to those who are feeling like their back is bruised after an epidural or spinal block. I had a spinal block over 6 years ago and i still cant bear that part of my back to be touched. I have no idea what it is :smt102 I have an appointment with my anaethetist tomorrow regarding spinal block for next week and am so anxious about it...did anyone have it hit a nerve when it was being inserted?? Thats what happened to me and i am absolutely dreading it happening again 8-[
