My name is Jeanne. I am sitting right now waiting to have an epidural. I have constant back pain and right leg and foot with neuropathy from a previous back surgery that went wrong! I am starting to be a bit depressed and giving up on finding relief. I was told I will always be in pain but trying to find a treatment that works.
This is effecting my marriage
Does anyone else out there having similar experience in this.

It was an Epdural that caused me to have central nerve damage using the epidural method and the drug called Fentanyl.
It’s a burning itch than starts almost anywhere on my left side, hands, fingers and comes around onto my left side of my stomach.
I’ve have this since I had a left knee replacement in 2018. No cure according to my family physician and Nuerologist.
I was prescribed a spray on, called “Enstilar” which I use almost every day, when it kicks off. It’s not perfect but offers some relief to the burning itch, which drives me crazy.
I’m 81 years old and feel that I should never have been given or had used on me, an Epidural or the drug Fentanyl. This is what kicked my damaged nerveissues off in the first place please consider the above most carefully if your considering an Epidural for any reason.
