Hi I've had a lot of epidurals, some did absolutely nothing, some helped tremendously. I have had problems and extensive surgery on all levels just about. Also epidurals before and after surgery. I do have endocrinology issues with making steroids and always need a stress dose to get me through any anesthesia. So i am a little different.
I was fortunate that for my first surgery, when i went for a second opinion , it was the same as the first. Sorry that was not the case with you. Maybe you need another opinion.
I do agree with Maria and i too would try an epidural before jumping into surgery.
