Eli5: Since epidurals are so commonly used to subside pain during active labor and child birth, why are they not used during other major medical procedures?
In: Other
They gave me an epidural when I donated bone marrow. They take the marrow out of the pelvis, so big needles through the upper butt check multiple times. I don’t remember much since they also gave me a Valium drip to “relax” me, which pretty much put me to sleep.
