A spine epidural required by insurance for a pain stimulator paralyzed my right diaphragm 3/2015. I felt the injection burn going up my back and evaporate at my shoulders. Patient before me complained of a painful epidural also. Three days later I was in ER short of breath. All prior chest x-rays were clear. Wish we could stop insurance from forcing epidurals. I asked not to do epidurals they don't work for me. Doctor insisted it was required by insurance.
