My surgeon told me that I would have an epidural

because of my breathing problems,Ok posties what can I expect from an epidural, does it hurt having it in your back? not the actual inserting it but after. can you lay on your back? whats to keep the needle from moving and damaging spinal cord? how long do they usually keep it in? and how is the meds delivered, is it by a machine, a pump or does a nurse come in and inject something in it when you need meds? Does it cause a headache, my aunt always got headaches from an epidural and can you sleep alot with an epidural? tell me everything so I know what to expect. either answer here or email me at [email protected]
