herniated disc from car accident
Can you have an epidural with herniated disks in your spine?

I have a few herniated disks in my spine from a car accident and i dont know if i can have an epidural or anything on the day i give birth. I was wondering if anyone else has or has not because of it and if you have please let me know your input??

You can have the epidural on the day of birth. In fact epidural steroids are frequently used to treat herniated discs in hopes of avoiding surgery so you should have no problem.For treatment of labor pain the MD uses anesthetic agents instead.Good luck!
