I was giving an epidural for a bulging disc that is on a nerve. I have numbness in my leg along with tingling in my toes. The epidural did not work. I saw my Pain Doctor who wants to do another with a different med. The earliest appt that I could was in the beginning of December. He told me that the epidural usually works. He said 70% it does and only 30% doesn't. From past experience, I am the one that Murphys' Law usually follows. lol I am afraid that the epidural will only mask the symptoms for the bulging disc. Don't get me wrong I trust my Pain Doctor. It just doesn't make sense to me. MaryView Thread
