What other pain relief is there besides epidural?

I had back surgery in 1991, and a c-section in 1997, I found out right before my c-section, that due to my back surgery and scar tissue, that I could never have an epidural, the doctor said it might not take, or would be very spotty pain relief thru out my body.
